Robbie Savage sticks with Leeds United relegation verdict amid dismal winless run

Robbie Savage has said that he still thinks Leeds United will be relegated from the Premier League this season. The Whites plummeted into the relegation zone following a devastating 1-0 defeat against Everton on Saturday. The Toffees climbed out of the bottom three as a result and Savage has named the three sides who he thinks will face the drop come May.

"I wouldn't put Leicester City in there," Savage said, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live. "Who is going down? I have said Leeds, I will say Southampton and I think Bournemouth."

Leeds are still yet to find a permanent replacement for Jesse Marsch, who was relieved of his duties following a 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest two weeks ago.

Michael Skubala has overseen the last three games, which has generated just one point from a possible nine. Both performances in the doubleheader against bitter rivals Manchester United created cautious optimism, but the defeat at Goodison Park has casted doubt over the club's ability to stay in the Premier League.

The Whites have now gone 10 league games without a win, and face bottom-place Southampton in another relegation six-pointer this Saturday.
