Leeds United and Leicester City set for drop in battle with Everton and Forest as relegation verdict given

It's now just two wins from 12 for Leeds United after yesterday's 2-2 draw with Newcastle United extended their winless run to seven matches. The draw moved them up a place from second bottom to 18th, just one point above Leicester City and one behind Everton in 17th ahead of Leicester's game against Liverpool.

All those of a Whites' pursuasion will be hoping Jurgen Klopp's men can do them a favour as the battle for relegation looks set to go down to the wire.

It looks a four-team battle to join already relegated Southampton.

Leeds United travel to West Ham next, who themselves are not completely out of the picture and could be dragged back in if they fail to beat Brentford on Sunday and Leeds win next weekend. Sam Allardyce's side then finish the season at home to Tottenham on the final day.

Leicester have a trip to Newcastle United following Monday night's fixture at home to Liverpool, and then finish with a home match against West Ham, while Everton travel to Wolves and then entertain Bournemouth. Nottingham Forest, just three points clear of Leeds in 16th, entertain Arsenal next and then travel to Crystal Palace on the final day.

The bookies don't rate Leeds or Leicester's chances of shifting from their current positions.

Here are the latest relegation odds, according to SkyBet, at the time of publishing.
