How an unpredictable Championship weekend impacted Leeds United's promotion odds

The Championship was back to its unpredictable best with only four of the top ten winning over the weekend.

West Brom and Leeds United were the big winners as both claimed vital 1-0 wins to move themselves further into the thick of promotion race.

The Baggies extended their lead at the top of the table whilst the Whites moved up to second after seeing off Birmingham City.

Only Queens Park Rangers and Charlton were the other clubs to claim three points in the top ten after beating Hull City and Derby County which moved the pair up the table.

For Preston North End, Bristol City and Fulham, though, it was a weekend of frustration as they all dropped points against teams below them.

Reading, Luton Town and Stoke City were the trouble makers as they all secured unlikely victories against the promotion chasers.

Equally, Swansea City were held away at bottom club Barnsley, whilst Sheffield Wednesday dropped points at Cardiff City after a late equaliser from Lee Tomlin on Friday night.

Despite those results, with only four points separating second and tenth, the Championship is as typically tight as always.

Here's a look at the latest odds, courtesy of The Pools , for the Championship title after a dramatic set of results on matchday 12.
