Leeds United face relegation coin-flip chance as bookies and supercomputer update forecasts

Leeds United are currently the bookmakers' fourth favourites to suffer relegation from the Premier League this season.

The Whites are available on Sky Bet at 5/6 to face the drop, although they are still tipped to stay in the top-flight ahead of Everton (8/11); Nottingham Forest (4/6), and Southampton (1/10).

Leicester are 11/8 to be relegated despite being two places and one point behind Leeds in the Premier League rankings. The two sides drew 1-1 at Elland Road on Tuesday night after Luis Sinisterra's 20th-minute header was cancelled out by Jamie Vardy's equaliser 10 minutes from time.

Javi Gracia's men travel to fellow relegation rivals Bournemouth, who are 7/1, on Sunday afternoon. A victory will send Leeds above the Cherries on goal difference.

According to FiveThirtyEight, Leeds have a 45% chance to be relegated from the Premier League, which is still less than Nottingham Forest (58%); Everton (63%), and Southampton (90%).

The Whites are forecast to finish one place outside the bottom three on 35 points, with Forest, Everton and Southampton predicted to drop into the Championship next season.

Everton host Newcastle United on Thursday evening, while Bournemouth travel to Southampton as fans brace for the latest twists in the battle to beat the drop.
