Leeds United tipped for Premier League relegation by fan poll

Leeds United have been tipped to suffer relegation from the Premier League at the end of the season, according to a recent fan poll.

45% of football fans who participated in a Betfair poll expect the Whites to finish in the bottom three along with Southampton (76%) and AFC Bournemouth (63%).

Leeds climbed out of the relegation zone and into 14th place last weekend with a crucial 4-2 victory over Wolves at Molineux. Jack Harrison, Luke Ayling, Rasmus Kristensen, and Rodrigo all got on the scoresheet as Javi Gracia registered the second win of his reign.

The Whites have collected seven points from a possible 12 since Gracia succeeded Jesse Marsch in February, but their recent resurgence has not prevented Premier League fans from writing them off.

Just four points separate the bottom eight clubs in the Premier League, and Leeds boast a two-point cushion over the drop zone heading into the international break.

West Ham, Bournemouth and Southampton make up the bottom three as it stands, although only 18% have predicted the Hammers to go down.
