The curtain may have only fallen on Leeds United's dismal Premier League campaign last weekend but they're among the early favourites to win promotion back to the top flight. The Whites were beaten 4-1 by Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road on the final day of the season to end their three-year stay in the Premier League and will play Championship football next season.
Bet365's Steve Freeth said: "Leeds started the day as 1/33 favourites for the drop and we didn’t have long to wait for their fate to be sealed with Harry Kane helping himself to his usual last day goal. All thoughts now turn to next season and we’ve chalked them up as second favourites for an instant return, but those odds could fluctuate with a number of question marks about the Elland Road club."
Bet365 have Leeds as the 7/1 second favourites to win the title next season, with Leicester City the slight favourites at 6/1. However, question marks remain over the future of interim boss Sam Allardyce who was brought in to try and steer the club to safety.
