Leeds United are now strong favourites to be relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the season.

Five Thirty-Eight have used their Super Computer to predict the chance of either the Whites or Burnley going down after all of the twists on Thursday evening [19 May].

Leeds have a 76% of playing Championship football after the Clarets drew 1-1 at Aston Villa and Everton secured safety with a 3-2 win against Crystal Palace.

Leeds travel to take on Brentford, and they know that only a win will likely do at this stage.

With Burnley playing Newcastle, whoever betters the others’ result will stay in the Premier League, it is as simple as that at this stage.

Jesse Marsch has been left with a dreadful goal difference, meaning even matching the result of Burnley will see his side down into the Championship.

Shocker.

There was a sense of inevitability flying around on Thursday.

With Aston Villa playing poorly and Nick Pope pulling off more wonder saves to keep his side in it, they did miss a huge chance of their own to win it in the end.

Everton coming from two-nil down to beat Palace too summed up this season for Leeds.

Anything is still possible in the Premier League, and Leeds now have no excuse but to go to Brentford and pick up a result, if they don’t, they will go down.

The Whites have relied on others far too much in the past couple of months, and time and time again, they have failed to do anything with Villa, Wolves and Southampton all dropping points.

Leeds are doing it the hard way, but they is a terrible feeling in our gut going into this last game, and all we can do is have everything crossed that we can pick up a result and stay in the Premier League.
