Leeds United are a point adrift of safety with just two matches remaining following their home draw with Newcastle United. Sam Allardyce picked up the first point of his interim spell with a 2-2 draw at Elland Road which ended the Whites' six-match losing run.
Luke Ayling opened the scoring after only seven minutes, but a late deflected strike from Rasmus Kristensen was required to avoid a seventh straight loss following a brace from Callum Wilson from the penalty spot. The latest result means Leeds are now just a point behind Everton, who suffered a heavy home loss to Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
It was a spirited and improved display from Leeds against the high-flying Magpies, but it has not changed their status as favourites to join Southampton in the Championship according to data analysts FiveThirtyEight. The Whites alongside Leicester City, who sit a point behind Allardyce's side and play their game in hand against Liverpool on Monday night, are considered the most likely teams to suffer relegation come the end of the season.
