Where Leeds United rank in the Championship Fair Play table

The Championship is 11 games old and the pressure is already on several managers as the table begins to take shape.

West Brom sit top of the pile, narrowly followed by Nottingham Forest and Preston North End who have all made strong starts to their promotion pushes.

Leeds United have dropped to fifth after a disappointing run of results, although Marcelo Bielsa's are only two points off the league leaders.

At the bottom end of the table, Stoke City, Barnsley, Reading and Huddersfield Town, in particular, have all had difficult starts to the season, with three of those clubs already changing their manager.

With each passing game the Championship Fair Play table begins to formulate, revealing which team is the dirtiest in the division.

The scoring for the Championship Fair Play table is based around bookings, second yellows and straight reds, with the points for each being one for a yellow, three for a second yellow card and five for a straight red.

If the number of points are the same, the two teams are separated by the number fouls they have committed.

Just under half of the Championship’s 24 teams have had a man sent off this season, whether that's from a straight red card or two bookings.

So with that in mind, here's a look at the Fair Play table which reveals the dirtiest Championship side to date.

Championship Fair Play table:

1: Brentford, 10 points

2: Luton Town, 13points

3: Leeds United, 14 points
