Championship football is back and Leeds United have already been handed a boost in their bid for promotion.
The Whites kick off their campaign tomorrow when they take on Bristol City at Ashton Gate, with most of the division playing on Friday and Saturday.
As if we needed a reminder, the opening weekend of the season provided more evidence to prove the Championship is among the most unpredictable leagues in the world.
Without even kicking a ball, Marcelo Bielsa’s side have been handed an advantage after several of their promotion rivals fell to shock defeats.
Fulham, Stoke City, Cardiff City, Middlesbrough and Brentford all dropped points on the opening weekend to give Leeds a big boost heading into their opening fixture.
The Cottagers, priced as the second-favourites to earn promotion with the bookies prior to kick-off, were beaten by newly-promoted Barnsley in the biggest upset of the weekend.
Elsewhere, Stoke City were beaten by Queens Park Rangers at home, Cardiff City lost 3-2 at Wigan Athletic and Birmingham City defeated well-fancied Brentford.
Throw in Middlesbrough’s 3-3 draw at Luton Town on Friday night and it’s been a very good weekend for United fans before the Whites have even played.
A win tomorrow would surely be the icing on the cake of what could only be described as a dream set of results.
With that in mind, here’s how Leeds United fans have reacted on social media.
