Leeds United are priced as 4/1 outsiders to be relegated from the Premier League this season, according to odds from Sky Bet. They have the Whites as the sixth favourites to go down with Everton, Southampton, Wolves, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest all deemed more likely to finish in the bottom three.
Leeds enter the World Cup break sitting 15th in the table, but just two points ahead of the relegation zone after their late collapse at Tottenham. Jesse Marsch's side would've been looking much more comfortable had they have held onto the win in the capital, but recent wins over Liverpool and Bournemouth have helped breathe new life back into their season nevertheless.
Despite moving up to 18th with a win over Crystal Palace on Saturday, Nottingham Forest are currently the 4/7 favourites to go down having occupied bottom spot for much of the campaign. Bournemouth (4/6) and Wolves (10/11) are the two other teams odds on to be relegated, though the latter will be feeling much more confident about their chances following the appointment of Julen Lopetegui.

Southampton - another team to have recently changed their manager with Nathan Jones arriving from Luton - are currently priced at 13/8 despite losing three Premier League matches in a row. Everton are the final side to be priced lower than Leeds at 7/4 having also lost their last three.
Toffees fans were not afraid to make their feelings clear at the full time whistle of their 3-0 defeat at Bournemouth at the weekend and so the break has arguably come at the best possible time from their perspective.
