Peterborough United owner Darragh MacAnthony has backed Leeds United, West Bromwich Albion and Brentford to clinch promotion to the Premier League, as he posted on Twitter.

MacAnthony, owner of League One outfit Peterborough, has said that he will watch the Championship run-in.

Leeds are at the top of the Championship table at the moment with 71 points from 37 matches, a point clear of second-placed West Bromwich Albion.

Brentford are currently fourth in the standings with 60 points from 37 games.

Going up

Leeds and West Brom have been the two best teams in the Championship so far this season.

It will be interesting to see how the Whites and the Baggies fare after the break, and perhaps there could be a couple of strange results initially.

However, it is hard to see Leeds or West Brom slip up, although Marcelo Bielsa’s side did stumble in the final weeks of last season.

Fulham, Nottingham Forest, Preston North End, Bristol City, Millwall, Cardiff City, Blackburn Rovers, Swansea City, Derby County and Queens Park Rangers all will be aiming to finish in the playoffs.
