Supercomputer spells out size of Leeds United's task in final week of relegation battle

Despite moving out of the relegation zone following the 1-1 draw with Brighton, Leeds United are still viewed as favourites to join Norwich and Watford in the Championship next season. Burnley and Everton in the positions above and below and both have a game-in-hand over Jesse Marsch’s side in the final week of the Premier League season.

Currently, Leeds don’t know what they will need from their trip to Brentford as their two relegation rivals are in action on Thursday evening. Everton host Crystal Palace at Goodison while Burnley travel to face Aston Villa just three days before the last day of the season.

The outcomes of those matches will definitely change the relegation odds but, at the moment, Leeds are being tipped to drop out of the top flight. According to sports forecasting website FiveThirtyEight, there is a 56% chance of the Whites being relegated alongside Norwich and Watford.
