Predicted Premier League table good news for Leeds United but no hope for Everton

Leeds United's 0-0 draw against Brentford has seen data analysts FiveThirtyEight boost their latest chances to escape relegation from the Premier League by the end of the season.

Despite not having won a league match since the return from the winter break, Jesse Marsch's side has put in several improved performances which has notched them points against high-flyers Newcastle United, fellow strugglers West Ham and the mid-table Bees.

The Whites have been forecasted to finish in 14th, and have been given just a 15% chance to finish within the bottom three as they sit just a point above Bournemouth who currently occupy 18th.

According to the data, Marsch's side have the highest chance of finishing either 14th or 13th, with both possibilities coming out as a 13% chance.

The Whites have a 3% chance to finish bottom-of-the-league, a 5% chance of finishing 19th and a 7% chance of finishing 18th but are also given a 7% chance of finishing within the top 10.

Ultimately, Marsch's side are predicted to reach the mythical 40-point mark of safety and will finish tied with Leicester City on points ahead of Nottingham Forest and Wolves, while the bottom three is set to be Bournemouth, Southampton and managerless Everton.
