Leeds United's promotion charge this season looks set to involve participation in the Championship's end-of-season play-offs, and while the very mention strikes fear into Elland Road supporters, Leeds ironically do have history on their side.

The irony is that Leeds' record in the play-offs is played five, lost five, but close to half of teams finishing third in the Championship table over the past 19 seasons have gone on to clinch promotion to the Premier League in the division's heart-stopping finale.

Since 2017/18, the only team finishing third not to make the Wembley finale is, as luck would have it, Leeds, which despite history and the Whites' play-off hoodoo, does suggest third-place finishers have a significant advantage on those finishing sixth. This year, Leeds are likely to have earned around 20 additional points compared to the side they face in the play-off semis, which could yet be West Bromwich Albion, Norwich City or Hull City.
