Leeds – 10/11
It was a true howler of a weekend for Leeds United, who managed to allow Swansea City back into the game twice, as Daniel Farke's men drew 2-2 with the Welsh giants.
Two clangers from error-prone goalkeeper Illan Meslier meant that the Whites were finally overtaken by Sheffield United, who had been keeping pace with the Yorkshire side for the past three months.
Now two points adrift, Farke's men have a lot of work to do to reclaim top spot and secure the title. Bookies still fancy them at 10/11, but it certainly will not be easy.
Sheffield United – 15/8
Definitely the best value choice to win the Championship title, the Blades are priced at a very tempting 15/8.
A 3-1 win over high-flying Coventry City saw Chris Wilder's side in dreamland, as they took charge of the Championship table with merely seven games to go. They are unbeaten in their last five matches, and seem good value to continue that streak having just comfortably beaten one of the league's most in-form sides.
Backing United now could prove fruitful for punters.
Burnley – 5/1
A dark horse in the Championship this season, Scott Parker's Clarets are still in with a chance of making a late bid for the title. Only 11 goals conceded all season in 39 games, the Burnley defence has been impossible to break down in most matches.
A 1-0 win over Bristol City at the weekend took their clean sheet tally to a staggering 28, and meant that they moved to level on points with Leeds.
Two points separate the Clarets from the top of the table, and with their defence having proven resolute for such a long time this season, there seems to be little stopping them from making a last-gasp push for the title.
Who will win the EFL Championship in 2024/25? Here’s our prediction
Although Leeds remain the bookies' favourites, it is hard to bet against Sheffield United at present. Wins against Coventry, Sheffield Wednesday and QPR have proven that they can perform against any calibre of opposition and are able to break down all kinds of low block tactics.
With Wilder well-versed in leading the Blades to the Premier League, it is hard to argue against the Englishman doing it again. With Sheffield United's odds currently very fair for their position in the table, punters should take advantage of Wilder's promotion experience to get the best return on investment.
