Leeds United have been dealt a hammer blow by supercomputer FiveThirtyEight which is now tipping them to go down. The Whites defeat to Bournemouth was a new low as they shipped another four goals to break their own Premier League record.
Javi Gracia's side conceded 23 goals in the calendar month of April, breaking their own record from February earlier this year. There was plenty of optimism heading into the month with games against Leicester City, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth handing the Whites with a path out of danger.
They've taken just four points from 21 available this month and are in real danger with a tough run of games on the horizon. Leeds have to play Manchester City and Newcastle United in the coming weeks, followed up with games against West Ham United and then Tottenham.

The supercomputer is giving Leeds a 58 per cent chance of being relegated, the third worst in the division. Southampton remain the favourites to go down, with 98 per cent and Everton in 19th with 67 per cent.
Heading into the clash with Leicester City, Leeds were given a 48 per cent chance of relegation, but those odds have increased following the last two games. The Whites are a point above the relegation zone but the relegation picture could change again with the Foxes set to play the Toffees on Monday night.
