Super Computer makes new Leeds United Premier League relegation prediction after Leicester City v Newcastle
Leeds United have just been given a five per cent chance of staying up as Newcastle and Leicester played out a 1-1 draw on Monday, 22 May.
The Foxes needed to pick up three points to be in control of their destiny on the final day, but only came away with a point.
FiveThirtyEight’s Super Computer crunched the numbers at full-time and Leeds are predicted to finish in 19th.
Out of their own hands
Leeds have it all to do on the final day of the season and have to rely on favours from other clubs.
Everton appear to be in the driver’s seat to finish 17th and they’ve arguably got the easiest game – Bournemouth at home.
On paper, Leeds have the toughest game as they’re facing a side that was in the Champions League this season and once that’s vying to finish in the European spots.
Newcastle played so well against Leicester and were unfortunate not to win the game.
A draw was enough for them but not enough for Leicester as they do not control their own fate on the final day.
They may have the advantage over Leeds but Everton winning keeps them up regardless of what happens elsewhere.
