The Whites are in the last 16 again and 34% of bettors think they can win a major trophy.
The Leeds United juggernaut under Thomas Christiansen shows no sign of slowing down and the Yorkshire side have added a place in the EFL Cup fourth round alongside their Championship start which sees them in the top six. It was a tough night but Leeds squeaked by Premier League Burnley on penalties and now potentially face a fixture against one of English football’s elite.

Since the final whistle blew at Turf Moor, 34% of bettors have staked money on The Whites going all the way and winning a first major trophy since 1992. Although they are 75/1 (40/1 in places), this is a far cry from the start of the competition when they were 125/1.
This percentage of bettors is exactly double the amount of Spurs, who have received 17% of bets after lifting the ‘Wembley curse’ somewhat by beating Barnsley 1-0. Tottenham have their own trophy drought, going without silverware for nine years, but they are on course to end that by winning the trophy which they last held in 2008. 10/1 is the price you can get.
Oddschecker Spokesman George Elek: “There is undoubtedly a renewed optimism around Leeds that the Elland Road club are destined to finally return to the Premier League, but that hasn't stopped their fans of dreaming about cup success too. They bounced back from a disappointing defeat to Millwall at the weekend and the character shown has proven to be enough to get fans pulling the trigger on an unlikely cup win.”
