'Very surprised' - Leeds United diehards will love Chris Waddle's Championship prediction
Former England international Chris Waddle is confident Leeds United will finish in the Championship's top two. Daniel Farke’s side climbed back to the top of the table after goals from Manor Solomon, Largie Ramazani and Ao Tanaka helped them see off Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road yesterday.
Victory extended their unbeaten home run to 12 matches across all competitions. Speaking on ITV Sport as part of their punditry team, former Sheffield Wednesday and Marseille winger Waddle said: "I think it's two from four to go up in the Championship. I'd be very surprised if Leeds don't go up.
"It's one thing doing it at home, but it's whether they can start doing the same away from home which will decide if they go on and win it. If they keep winning at Elland Road that'll keep them in the race. I definitely think they'll be top two."

Farke was pleased to see his side return to winning ways in the league after successive draws with Blackburn Rovers and Hull City. "Of course we know we are probably the most emotional club in this country and we love it because if we win a game everyone is over the moon and celebrating and if it doesn’t go our way the world goes down," said Farke.
“We like this, we all want to work with such an emotional club. This is what you want to face as a manager and player.
“But you can’t just take the positives. It comes with expectations and sometimes it comes with over-reactions and it’s important we stay cool.
“If you over-react you won’t win anything. But our supporters are second to none. I wouldn’t change it. They’re the biggest asset at our club.”
