Latest supercomputer predicts final Championship table - and where Preston North End, Sheffield United, Leicester City & Co finish

After two successive defeats for Paul Heckingbottom’s men, PNE returned to winning ways in spectacular style on Friday evening.

Despite going 2-0 down after just 16 minutes against Sheffield United, the Lilywhites produced an impressive turnaround, with Lewis Dobbin, a Japhet Tanganga own goal and a Daniel Jebbison finish claiming all three points at Deepdale.

The triumph moves North End back into the picture for a play-off spot and sit seventh, level on points with Charlton Athletic who currently occupy the final top six spot.
