Leeds

Leeds currently occupies the third position in the league table after 35 rounds and is one of the contenders for promotion. It's worth acknowledging that the battle in the upper half of the table is intense, with teams shuffling positions almost after every round. The only constant seems to be Leicester at the top. However, considering Leicester's current form, changes might be imminent. Not long ago, Southampton held the second spot, with Leeds trailing by just one point. However, after a superb winning streak, the "Whites" overtook Southampton. Yet, following the last round where Leeds dropped points in an away match against Huddersfield, Ipswich overtook Daniel Farke's team.

Stoke City

The "Potters" can only watch as others fight for promotion to the Premier League, while their primary objective is to stay in the Championship. Amidst their competitors, Alex Neil's team hasn't made much of an impression and currently occupies the 22nd position after 35 rounds. Stoke City has accumulated 38 points and finds themselves in the relegation zone, trailing behind QPR, Birmingham, and Huddersfield on additional indicators. In the last round, Stoke City secured a 2-0 home victory against Middlesbrough, marking only their second win in the last eight rounds, with six losses during this period.
