Warnock Picks Leeds Over Preston - But Palace For Promotion

Writing in today's Daily Mail the Sheffield United boss, celebrating promotion to the Premier League himself, says 'I reckon Leeds might just come through against Preston and if I had to put money on it I'd go for a Palace/Leeds final. Who's going up? If really pushed, I'd have to go for Palace because of the strength of their squad - and that man (Andy) Johnson.

'I know Blacky so well after all our years together, but even I could not say how he'll cope in the play-offs. It's a new thing for him and he'll learn a lot about himself.'
