The new predicted final Championship table as Leeds United appear 'uncatchable' and Swansea City overtake Cardiff City

Swansea City are now among the front-runners for promotion after their stunning start to the season, according to bookmakers.

The Swans have moved ahead of Cardiff City in the pecking order and are fourth favourites (15/4) to win promotion come the end of the campaign.

Steve Cooper's unbeaten side were majestic as they crushed Birmingham City 3-0 on the weekend, and they now sit second in the Championship table, only behind leaders Leeds United on goal difference.

The Swans, who had initially been predicted to finish in the bottom half of the table by bookmakers, have won four and drawn one of their opening five matches. They now face Leeds on Saturday at Elland Road, who remain the huge runaway favourites for promotion at 2/5.
