A big Leeds United boost is expected amid a huge change at a particular promotion rival – but with the prospect of a long-term twist.

Despite being away from home, Leeds are favourites with every firm in being no bigger than 11-8 but as short as 6-5 whereas the hosts can be backed at 2-1. The draw is on offer at 11-4 and the visitors are responsible for three of the top four in the first scorer market. Whites pair Joel Piroe and the fit again Patrick Bamford are 6-1 joint favourites to net the game’s first goal, followed by Southampton’s Adam Armstrong and United’s record signing Georginio Rutter who are both 7s. Saints forward Che Adams and Leeds attackerare then both 15-2, after which there is a break in the market to Southampton’s Sekou Mara at 9s.
Southampton remain among the sides fancied for promotion in still being fourth favourites to win the division but now at 25-1 having been around a quarter of that earlier this summer. Leeds, on the other hand, are now 11-2 to win the league but the twist in the tale is that the bookies still expect both the Whites and Saints to end up in the play-offs.
