Leeds United will resume their Premier League survival bid with a less comfortable cushion and changed relegation odds versus expected key rivals.
Leeds established a six-point cushion back to the bottom three with October’s 2-1 victory at home to West Ham but disappointing defeats at Brighton and Nottingham Forest have left the Whites fifth-bottom and just one point clear of the dropzone.
Daniel Farke’s side are one point ahead of both fourth-bottom Burnley and third-bottom West Ham who themselves are one point ahead of second-bottom Forest. There is then a seven-point gap back to bottom-of-the-table Wolves who already have a mountain to climb under new boss Rob Edwards.
With Leeds also level on points with 15th-placed Fulham and only one point behind 14th-placed Everton, just five points separate the other five teams in the division’s bottom six and Newcastle United are only another point above them.
It has, though, been a different story for summer relegation favourites Sunderland who are flying high in fourth place and to a lesser degree Brentford - predicted by many to struggle but currently sat 12th and five points ahead of the Whites.
Ahead of United’s return to action at home to Aston Villa on Sunday, it’s all led to big changes in the relegation odds and new predicted final table based on those odds.
Here, in reverse order, is the full new rundown and the changes from the market before the last round of games before the November international break.
