Meanwhile, Sheffield United remained at 86 points following their unexpected loss to Burnley, falling 8 points behind Leeds.
According to the Championship rules, the top two teams earn direct promotion to the Premier League, while the teams ranked third to sixth compete in the play-offs to determine the third promoted team.
