Leeds United are heading for their second season back in the country’s top flight - but how do the bookies rate their chances of staying there?
Leeds and also Sunderland both bucked the trend of newly promoted teams going straight back down in the 2025-26 campaign, Leeds finishing eight points clear of the relegation zone in 14th place and Sunderland even qualifying for the Europa League with a brilliant seventh-placed finish.
Burnley were the only newly-promoted team to go straight back down, the Clarets relegated along with rock-bottom Wolves and ultimately also West Ham whose drop to the Championship was confirmed on the final day as fourth-bottom Tottenham survived.
Leeds also finished above Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest and just two points behind Everton and Newcastle United who were both two points adrift of Fulham whose manager Marco Silva has now departed.
Palace have also had a managerial change, Oliver Glasner having announced his impending exit in January and replaced by former Lens boss Pierre Sage.
Championship champions Coventry City, runners-up Ipswich Town and play-offs winners Hull City will be the three newly promoted teams looking to survive next time around and there has also been a managerial change at Ipswich, Kieran McKenna leaving the Tractor Boys and replaced by Gary O’Neil.
Leeds now have one season in the Premier League behind them although chairman Paraag Marathe has already sounded a warning about just how difficult the second season back can be.
So how do the bookies now see it after all the recent changes? Featuring fairly strong Leeds backing, here is their full range of next season relegation odds and predicted final table based on those odds.
