Ahead of the Premier League restart, former Leicester City midfielder Robbie Savage believes Leeds United will be relegated this season.
While the Whites got their season off to a flying start this term, poor form across September and October saw them slip down the table.
After beating Chelsea at the end of August, Jesse Marsch and co had to wait until October 29 for their next domestic win, which came when they beat Liverpool 2-1 in dramatic fashion.

That win over the Reds sparked a mini-revival for Leeds, who managed to win their next game against Bournemouth 4-3, in a game that saw them comeback from 3-1 down to secure all three points.
With the Premier League set to return next week, Leeds have been handed a tough test upon their domestic return, with the Whites welcoming defending champions Manchester City to Elland Road.
The Whites sit 15th in the table ahead of the domestic restart, just two points above the relegation zone. With the bottom of the Premier League so tight, Leeds need to get off to a good start upon their return to action, in order to avoid the relegation battle they experienced last term.
However, one pundit who has not been impressed by the Whites this term is Savage, who believes Leeds' leaky defence could cost them dearly this season.
"I predicted they might drop before a ball was kicked, and sadly I have not seen enough over the first 14 games to change my mind," Savage told GIVEMESPORT.
"Only Southampton have conceded more goals so far and Jesse Marsch might be facing a rough ride."
