Premier League pundits give bleak Leeds United verdict amid Burnley and Everton battle

NBC Sports Robbie Earle and Tim Howard reckon Leeds United's short spell in the Premier League could be about to end, with both pundits tipping the Whites for relegation. The relegation battle was plunged into further chaos this weekend as both Burnley and Everton managed to pull of impressive wins while Leeds fell 4-0 to Manchester City at home on Saturday night.

The weekend results mean that Leeds sit two points ahead of 18th placed Everton, but have played one game more, meaning that once the Toffees have played the same amount of games, Jesse Marsch's side could be in the bottom three. Leeds only have four games left to secure their Premier League survival, with games against Arsenal, Chelsea, Brighton and Brentford left on the slate.

And the NBC pair believe Leeds could well be on their way to join Watford and Norwich in the Championship next season. Earle said: "The team with it all on could well be Leeds United. Could well be Leeds United. Arsenal and Chelsea are their next two games, it's hard to see them getting any points.
