The OPTA supercomputer has taken a look at the promotion chances of all four teams that are chasing down a place in the Championship top two.Leeds United v Blackburn Rovers - Sky Bet Championship

The Championship promotion race continues to twist and turn at every available opportunity. Four teams remain in the hunt for just two automatic places, meaning two will miss out and face the randomness of the play-offs.

Leicester City have seen their large lead at the top dwindle after a poor run of form, which continued into the latest run of fixtures. A 1-0 defeat to Plymouth Argyle opened up opportunities to the other teams in the race.

Leeds United were next up to give it a shot, only to suffer a similar fate, losing to Blackburn Rovers. Ipswich Town moved to the top of the league, but could only manage that with a 1-1 draw, meaning all three top teams failed to win again.

The biggest benefactors of this will have been Southampton, who were seemingly out of the race again until recently. A late win over Watford means that the Saints can still catch the top two, with some big fixtures ahead.
