I asked AI to predict the final Championship table - and here’s where Preston North End, Sunderland and Leeds United finish

Preston went into the international break on a high after triumph over Portsmouth.

The 2-1 victory moved North End up to 14th and away from any potential trouble at the bottom end of the table.

Attention then returns back to the Championship just a few days later ahead of a visit to Derby County, which begins a run of games against struggling Stoke and Cardiff.

It’s a favourable set of fixtures for the Lilywhites, who could propel themselves higher up the standings before the end of the season.
