Leeds United held on to another three points against 10-man Middlesbrough last weekend and Daniel Farke's side will look to continue the pressure on league leaders Leicester City and Ipswich Town with a trip to promotion rivals Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
The seven-point gap between the Whites and the Tractor Boys may already seem a chasm but so much can change over a short period of time in the Championship, especially with the hectic period of festive fixtures ahead.
As the matches come thick and fast, the stats experts at Opta have recently been plugging the numbers and simulating the outcome of all Championship matches to update their predicted league table. The YEP looks through where Leeds United and rivals are due to finish, according to the latest data.
