Leeds United's unbeaten start to the Elland Road season will come to an end, Rotherham United will beat Huddersfield Town in the Yorkshire derby, Barnsley and Bradford City will suffer consecutive league defeats for the first time in 2022-23, and Harrogate Town will win a game.

Or at least that is what the FiveThirtyEight predictions computer is expecting from this weekend's matches.

It uses a complicated mathematical formula to predict the results of every English league match, and it is expecting a mixed weekend for the Yorkshire sides.

Surprisingly, beyond the two Sheffield sides, the clubs it reckons are most likely winners are relegation-threatened Middlesbrough and Harrogate.

GUNNED DOWN: Arsenal were comfortable 4-1 winners on their last trip to Elland Road

Boro are managerless since the sacking of Chris Wilder and the Sulphurites have only won twice this season, their last home victory coming on the opening weekend of the season. They are both a place above the relegation zone in the Championship and League One respectively. But the computer is confident they will beat Blackburn Rovers and Hartlepool United respectively.

That Arsenal are 59 per cent favoruites to win at Leeds is no great shock given the start Mikel Arteta's Premier League leaders have made to the campaign.

The result it is most confident about, though is Sheffield Wednesday winning at Cambridge United. They have failed to win on their last three visits, including last October's 1-1 draw.

Neighbours Sheffield United are expected to end their three-match winless run with victory over Blackpool.

Barnsley and Bradford are both tipped to lose to teams below them in the table.

The computer is unable to split Hull City and Birmingham City, but still thinks there is only a 28 per cent chance of a draw.
