This is where Sheffield United would finish if the league table was based on attendance figures

With nine matches down, Leeds United would still top the standings if attendance rather than points determined the final table but Sheffield United would be two places lower than they are currently.

The average number of fans through the turnstiles at Bramall Lane this campaign has been 24,383, which would put them 6th in the league.

Elland Road has had the most fans so far this term with 33,154 per match, followed by Aston Villa's Villa Park on 32,262 and Nottingham Forest's City Ground with 27,266.

In the real league table, Aston Villa's slow start to the season means they are down in 13th place, while Forest are 9th.

Sheffield Wednesday, currently 10th in the Championship, would rise to 9th place with average an average gate of 23,042 so far in 2018/19.

Stoke City and West Brom, who were both relegated from the Premier League last season, would be sandwiched between the two Sheffield clubs.

The Baggies sit in 7th place while the Potters occupy 8th with an average of 23,805 fans so far this season.
