How another draw has impacted Leeds United's Championship promotion hopes

Both West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United, the top two heading into latest round of Championship fixtures, dropped points over the weekend, both playing out draws.

Firstly, Leeds played out an entertaining goalless draw with Yorkshire neighbours Sheffield Wednesday before West Brom suffered late agony against Charlton Athletic, being held to a 2-2 draw at the Hawthorns.

Though the solitary point didn't too much damage to the Baggies' positioning, as they remained top, Leeds slipped out of the top two on goal-difference to Preston North End.

But as the Championship so often does, surprises were thrown up in abundance, with Fulham and Bristol City both dropping points against lowly Middlesbrough and Wigan Athletic respectively.

Whilst the season may only be 14 games old, predictions for the remaining 32 Championship matches are already being made and the bookies have shared the latest odds for the 2019/20 season.

Leeds remain the favourites to win the Championship title this season, with odds of 6/4 currently being offered. Hot on Leeds' heels, though, are West Brom at 3/1 and Fulham at 9/2.

Ahead of the next set of fixtures, we take a look at the odds for the Championship winner and promotion this season, provided by The Pools.
