Supercomputer now predicts if Leeds United will finish above Sheffield United after Swansea draw

Add as preferred source on Google

Leeds United must ensure they get their season back on track against Luton Town on Saturday.

It was more signs of Leeds’ bottling nature as Willy Gnonto’s 86th-minute strike seemed like it was the winner.

But Daniel Farke’s side were left disappointed as Swansea City fought back, pushing the Whites to second in the league.

Tim Sherwood sees Leeds finishing second just scraping promotion when it seemed like Farke’s team were home and dry not so long ago.

Well, predictions will now be changing at Leeds’ dismay as the supercomputer has mixed up its final standings entirely.

Leeds United’s final Championship position according to supercomputer

With Sheffield United now leading the way, the Swansea game opened the eyes of many fans, and it practically put the nail in the coffin for Illan Meslier’s future at the club.

Two errors cost Farke again, even leaving Ao Tanaka in disbelief for Leeds, who is normally such a cool-headed character.

Despite another setback, Leeds have to pick themselves up and go again, which will be difficult after another below-par performance.

These performances could end up costing Leeds promotion, and the Supercomputer has now made a new prediction, which could agree with that.

A supercomputer from the outlet, FootballWebPages, has deemed that Leeds will actually just claim the second place spot in the Championship, leaving Farke’s side on 98 points.

Extraordinarily, it’s actually Chris Wilder’s men who miss out on the top two entirely.

Farke will be his own downfall if he doesn’t make changes at Leeds

Saturday’s display taught Leeds fans plenty of things, but the main factor is that changes are needed.

The two obvious changes are in attack and goalkeeper, as there is no point even explaining why Meslier should be dropped for Karl Darlow.

Whereas the other may come as a slight shock as Manor Solomon was disappointing for Leeds vs Swansea.

This should open the door for Gnonto who has proven he can come up in the big moments in minimal time, as Farke needs to reward the Italian with a start.
