Leeds United's win at Liverpool sees supercomputer revise relegation verdict

Leeds United have been tipped to finish five points clear of the relegation zone at the end of the season in FiveThirtyEight's latest set of predictions.

The statistical website had forecast Leeds to survive relegation by just one point after a run of eight games without a win following the defeat to Arsenal, but they've enhanced their chances of avoiding the drop with their victory over Liverpool on Saturday.

Leeds ended Liverpool's 29-match unbeaten run at Anfield in the Premier League with a 2-1 triumph over the weekend. Rodrigo opened the scoring when he was gifted a tap-in from Joe Gomez's dreadful back pass inside four minutes.

Mohamed Salah equalised 10 minutes later but Crysencio Summerville's 89th-minute winner secured all three points to ensure that the Whites climbed out of the relegation zone.

Leeds only have a 20 per cent chance of being relegated, according to FiveThirtyEight, down from 34 per cent a week ago. Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Wolves respectively have been tipped to go down by the American data analytics website.
