Final promotion odds revealed before Championship restart - where do Nottingham Forest and Leeds United rank?

The Championship will resume soon with 108 fixtures of the regular season still to be played – and fresh odds have been released suggesting the sides which stand the best chances of promotion.

English football’s second-tier resumes on June 20, with each club having nine games left to tackle this campaign.

The season is due for a midweek end to the campaign on Tuesday, July 21, and Wednesday, July 22.

The Championship play-off final is also planned to take place either on Sunday, August 2, and Monday, August 3.

When the season halted in March, Leeds United sat top of the division closely pursued by West Bromwich Albion.

Behind the top two, there is an intriguing battle emerging for the play-offs with Fulham third, four points ahead of London rivals Brentford and Nottingham Forest.

Preston North End currently occupy the final play-offs spot and are just a point of Bristol City.

A total of just nine points split the Lilywhites in sixth down to Birmingham City in 16th.
