Leeds United currently find themselves among a crop of teams very much in an early battle to stave clear of relegation trouble. The Whites sit 15th in the Premier League, just a point above the bottom three, with the bottom half of the division looking extremely tight at present.
Leeds had entered last weekend in the relegation zone after a run of eight matches without a win, but an historic victory at Liverpool has certainly lifted the mood around the club. Aston Villa, Southampton, Leicester City, Wolves and Nottingham Forest are the five sides currently below Leeds in the table.
Given the tight nature of the division during the early stages of the campaign, LeedsLive asked reporters of each of the other sides in the bottom six for their assessment on the season so far, and how it could pan out. Please note, the majority of these responses came last week, ahead of the most recent round of matches.
