Leeds United are six points clear of the dropzone with ten games left - and Opta’s supercomputer has made a big Whites call in its new predicted final table and points.
Daniel Farke’s suffered a rare defeat under the Elland Road lights and just a third league loss from their last 15 games on Saturday evening as title-chasing Manchester City left Elland Road with a 1-0 success.
Leeds, though, remained six points clear of the relegation zone despite the defeat after third-bottom West Ham’s 5-2 loss at Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.
Nevertheless, United’s defeat to City offered both fifth-bottom Tottenham Hotspur and fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest the chance to improve their position, Spurs knowing that a win at Sunday’s hosts Fulham would send them above Farke’s Whites.
Tottenham, though, in new boss Igor Tudor’s second game in charge, suffered yet another defeat as Fulham recorded a 2-1 victory that leaves Spurs two points below Leeds with ten games left. In an arguably even bigger boost for Leeds, fourth-bottom Forest were also beaten by the same score at Brighton, leaving the Reds four points behind the Whites.
Completing a triple Whites boost, 14th-placed Crystal Palace also suffered a 2-1 defeat at Manchester United which featured the additional Eagles blow of a straight red card for star defender Maxence Lacroix. Palace could have kicked seven points clear of Leeds with a win but remain just one place and four points above them.
Apart from bottom of the table Wolves winning, it’s left the bottom seven standings exactly as they were and Opta’s supercomputer has now unveiled its new predicted final table and points featuring a big Whites call.
Here is the full new rundown including the latest Arsenal v City title call.
