Leeds United remain among the early favourites to win promotion back to the Premier League. The Whites are still without a manager following Sam Allardyce's departure from Elland Road at the end of the season and supporters are still awaiting an update on the 49ers Enterprises takeover.
Andrea Radrizzani has agreed a deal with the investment arm of the American organisation and it's currently in the hands of the EFL ahead of being given the green light. There have been a number of managers linked with the vacant managerial hotseat at Elland Road, including Patrick Vieira, Daniel Farke and Steven Gerrard.
This Whites know they'll have to appoint a new manager as a matter of urgency before signing off on any transfers at the club. Despite the amount of work needed to do before a ball is kicked, Leeds are still being tipped for an immediate return to the top flight.
A table produced by BonusCodeBets has the Whites finishing second in the Championship - winning automatic promotion back to the Premier League. Leicester City are the early title favourites while fellow relegated side Southampton are tipped to finish third.
