Leeds United have given themselves a massive fresh boost in the club’s quest for Premier League survival - leading to a big Whites change in the bookies’ new predicted final table.
Daniel Farke’s Whites approached Friday night’s hosting of Nottingham Forest sat fifth-bottom, level on points with fourth-bottom Forest and six points clear of the division’s relegation zone.
Friday’s contest, though, offered Leeds and Forest the chance to kick nine points clear of third-bottom West Ham, albeit having played a game more, and Farke’s Whites took the opportunity with both hands in recording a superb 3-1 success.
The victory has not only kicked Leeds nine points clear of West Ham but also three points ahead of Forest on the same amount of games played.
West Ham visit second-bottom Burnley on Saturday afternoon in what is now their game in hand.
But despite remaining in 16th place, Leeds have also now joined both 14th-placed Tottenham and 15th-placed Crystal Palace on 29 points, albeit, like the Hammers, both teams have played a game less.
Nevertheless, the table is now looking considerably rosier and it’s all led to a big Whites change in the team’s relegation odds and new predicted final table based on those odds.
Here, using title odds for sides expected to end up in the top half, is the full new rundown in reverse order.
