Leeds United have a 64 percent chance of securing Premier League survival this season.
A peek through the top-flight history book, while only including seasons which contested a 38-game league, shows just 29 of the 81 sides to have earned 23 points from 26 games were eventually relegated. In fact, that tally is the same as the Whites registered at this stage last year before escaping the bottom three by beating Brentford on the final day.
Javi Gracia’s side should take comfort - and possibly even inspiration - from previous relegation candidates. Teams such as West Bromwich Albion in '04-05 faced a far more perilous task than Leeds right now.
