In a very tight market, a 1-1 draw is favourite in the correct score market at 36-5 and Leeds are firmly expected to stay up in the longer term.

The Whites are currently fifth favourites to go down at 7-2, behind Norwich City (1-100), Watford (2-9), Burnley (4-7) and Everton (11-4).

Brentford are then 8s, followed by Newcastle United (33s), Brighton (150s) and Southampton (275s) who Leeds will hope are on the beach.
