Leeds United's survival chances predicted as Javi Gracia's men prepare for relegation battle

It's one of the closest relegation battles in Premier League history at this stage of the season, and Leeds United have found themselves slap-bang in the middle of it.

Despite twice occupying Champions League spots very early on in the campaign, the Whites have found themselves languishing in mid-table throughout the season and at one point in the relegation zone.

However, two wins from their last four matches under Javi Gracia has seen them rise up to 14th with any of the bottom nine teams all threatened by the drop down to the Championship as they're separated by just four points.

Therefore, we've gathered 19 writers across our sister titles in order to get their thoughts and a prediction of which clubs will be relegated by the end of the season.

Eight of the bottom nine teams received votes in the prediction but out of the 19 writers, only one believes that Gracia's men will be in the drop zone by the end of the final day.

The most chosen two teams were Southampton and Bournemouth, both with 18 votes to be relegated while Nottingham Forest came in third with 10 votes.

Leicester City received four votes, Crystal Palace received three votes and West Ham received two votes while Sean Dyche's Everton were only included in one writer's prediction.

The only team to avoid being voted for were Wolves, who have made significant strides in 2023 since beginning the year as bottom of the table.
