If the Premier League table was based off Chris Sutton's predictions this season, Leeds United would sit in 14th - exactly where Javi Gracia's side currently find themselves.
Sutton has replaced Mark Lawrenson as the BBC's regular score predictor and every week the former Celtic man offers his thoughts for the weekend's upcoming matches. He will no doubt be trying his hand at predictions once again this weekend as Leeds return to Premier League action at the Emirates against Arsenal.
Supporters may well want to pay close attention to Sutton's predictions as his selections have somewhat reflected reality with the Whites finding themselves 14th in both his and the Premier League's table. His forecast however does have Gracia's side with 29 points - not their current 26 - and with a healthy 15 point gap to the relegation zone.

"This season has probably been the most difficult for predicting results since the Premier League started, so I'm pretty happy with that," Sutton told BBC Sport when shown his predicted Premier League table (below). "In recent years you didn't have to think twice about whether Liverpool would win every week and you could always trust Chelsea to beat most teams too, but the wheels have really fallen off for both of them this time.
"They have been on the wrong end of some remarkable results, while another of the usual top-four contenders, Tottenham, are so up and down they are just impossible to predict. On top of that, the fact there is a relegation battle involving nine clubs who can all beat each other tells you how hard it has been to get their scores right.
"The team at the bottom of my table, Bournemouth, still have a fighting chance of staying up in real life, which has surprised me. I wrote them off at the start of the season, and did the same again around Christmas, but they keep on picking up points.
"They have proved me wrong a few times now, but they are not the only ones because I don't have many teams who I can rely on, to always be good or bad. All things considered, I think I'm doing really well but please remember that, if I really were a predictions genius, I would not be working as a pundit - I'd be a billionaire."
