Leeds United have been backed by bookmakers to avoid relegation from the Premier League, as they tipped Bournemouth, Southampton, Everton and Nottingham Forest to all be more likely to play in the Championship next season than the Whites.
A 1-0 defeat to Chelsea for Leeds on Saturday afternoon allowed their relegation rivals to claw back ground in the fight to stay up this season. The Saints claimed all three points against Leicester City, while Nottingham Forest and Everton played out a 2-2 draw to take a point each.
And things were also looking bleak for the Whites when Bournemouth took a shock 2-0 lead at the Emirates over top of the table Arsenal, only for a 97th minute Reiss Nelson winner to complete a 3-2 comeback and prevent the Cherries from pulling off what would have been one of the biggest upsets this term.

The weekend's results mean that Leeds sit 17th in the table and out of the relegation zone on goal difference alone. Just six points cover Crystal Palace in 12th all the way down to Bournemouth in 20th.
With that in mind, LeedsLive has pulled together the latest relegation odds as the bookmakers back the Whites to maintain their top-flight status next season under Javi Gracia.
