Leeds United receive vote of confidence in battle against Premier League relegation

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.
