Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville fears Leeds United could 'sink' into the relegation zone this season. The Whites clinched survival on the final day of the season in the last campaign at the expense of Burnley.
Jesse Marsch is heading into his first full season as Leeds boss, hoping to improve on last season's 17th-placed finish. Neville believes it could be another relegation scrap for the Whites, although he does predict that they'll narrowly avoid relegation again.
“I would agree with the bottom three you just said there [Forest, Bournemouth and Fulham],” Neville said on the Overlap. “But, I do think those two above, Brentford and Leeds are the two that could sink into it.”
However, fellow Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher doesn't believe Leeds will be in too much trouble, not including them in the relegation conversation when asked to make his bottom three predictions.
He said: "I think Brentford could have a problem. They had a run in the second half of last season where they went 10 or 12 games without winning, and that can happen, but (Christian) Eriksen changed that.
"Bournemouth, Brentford, and I've said I want Forest to stay up, and I think in terms of Fulham, Marco Silva will make it difficult for teams. I think Fulham will stay up, and I'll go Forest, Bournemouth and Brentford (to go down)."
On a poll on the Overlap, nearly a third of all voters ( 31% ) predicted Leeds to get relegated. 52% of voters had Bournemouth in their bottom three, with Fulham getting 46% of the vote and Nottingham Forest 44%. 35% of people had Brentford going down.
