Supercomputer reacts to back-to-back Leeds United thrashings with updated relegation verdict

Leeds United are still forecast to finish outside of the bottom three at the end of the season, despite suffering back-to-back thrashings against Crystal Palace and Liverpool respectively.

The Whites have leaked 11 goals across their past two matches, and have conceded more goals than any other Premier League (60) this season.

Nevertheless, FiveThirtyEight have tipped Javi Gracia's side to avoid the drop by three points, and finish the campaign in 16th place.
