They still have every chance, of course, but Warnock says Bielsas side are more vulnerable defensively than their rivals, and this makes Norwich and Sheffield United favourites to go up.Leeds, what a club, he said on Thursdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.

I just think Leeds have got a soft belly at times at the back when theyre under pressure, in comparison with the other two.I think Sheffield United will be very, very difficult to push out of that top two. Chris Wilder has built a good side, they were one of the best teams we played last year and hes got a way of playing thats very difficult to play against.I think Norwich and Sheffield United are the favourites.
