Opta predicts final Premier League table: Where Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, West Ham, Burnley now finish

Leeds United have slipped another point closer to the dropzone - and data experts Opta have made an incredibly tight new Whites call in their new predicted final Premier League table.

Leeds moved six points clear of the dropzone with last weekend’s 2-1 win at home to West Ham United but a six-point cushion has become just a four-point advantage after boosts for key rivals.

As Daniel Farke’s Whites suffered a very disappointing 3-0 defeat at Saturday afternoon’s hosts Brighton, third-bottom Nottingham Forest bagged their first point under new boss Sean Dyche with a 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United.

Fulham, meanwhile, moved above Leeds on goal difference the same day with a 3-0 victory at home to rock-bottom Wolves whose eighth defeat of the season cost boss Vitor Pereira his job.

Sunday then offered second-bottom West Ham the chance to make ground and the Irons jumped moved above Forest and to within four points of 16th-placed Leeds with a 3-1 win at home to Newcastle United.

After 10 games played, Leeds are one point ahead of fourth-bottom Burnley, four ahead of West Ham, five clear of Forest and nine clear of Wolves.

The Whites also remain level on points with Fulham and Everton - the latter of whom visit Sunderland in the final game of the weekend on Monday night.

It’s got tighter at the bottom but data experts Opta think it will get much, much closer come the end of the campaign.

Here, in reverse order, is their new predicted final table with a particularly tight West Ham, Forest, Burnley and Leeds call.
