The points tally Leeds United need to reach to avoid Premier League relegation - based on previous seasons

With just a handful of games left this season, Leeds United are still no closer to learning which division they will be playing their football next term.

While Norwich City have already been relegated, and with Watford looking increasingly likely to join them, Jesse Marsch’s side are one of three teams desperately fighting to beat the drop.

At the time of writing, Leeds 17th in the table with 34 points, the same amount as 16th-placed Burnley, and two points ahead of Everton beneath them.

But how many points are they likely to need to survive this season?

Since the Premier League made the transition to a 20-team division in 1995, the average number of points required to stay up has been precisely 36.2, but over the course of those 26 campaigns, the actual figure has differed wildly.

With in mind, we’ve taken a look at each of the last 10 top flight seasons to see how many points would have been enough to secure that much-heralded spot in 17th.
