Supercomputer predicts final Championship table - and where Preston North End, Middlesbrough, Blackburn Rovers & Co finish

PNE continued their impressive start to the new season, picking up a point at home to play-off hopefuls Bristol City on Saturday.

The Lilywhites played out a goalless draw at Deepdale, which moved them onto 12 points from their first seven games of the campaign.

Paul Heckingbottom’s men have already picked up victories against Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Derby County along with stalemates with QPR, Middlesbrough and the Robins.

PNE are back in action in midweek against Hull City before taking on Charlton Athletic in Lancashire this weekend.

We’ve taken a look at football analytics website Opta, who have used their data to predict how the final Championship table could look like.

Here’s where Heckingbottom’s men are expected to finish this term.
