Leeds United upturn sees survival hopes surge past rivals in supercomputer prediction

FiveThirtyEight have released their latest forecast for how they think the Premier League is likely to finish. The website uses statistical analysis to tell stories about several different topics, including sport, and more specifically the Premier League.

Based on the season so far and the data that has been presented, Leeds United are expected to build on their back-to-back victories by securing their top-flight status. The Whites are expected to finish on 37 points, three points ahead of 18th place Burnley, who have been predicted to go down alongside Norwich City and Watford.

Jesse Marsch's side have a 23% chance of relegation in comparison to Burnley's 51%, which shows the magnitude of the recent victories, as only two weeks ago, Leeds were more likely to go down than the Clarets according to FiveThirtyEight. Everton are the team most at risk of dropping into the bottom three, as they have been predicted to finish 17th, two points above the bottom three.
