The landscape has altered in Leeds United’s quest for Premier League survival, leading to changes in the club’s relegation odds and new predicted final table with the bookies.

Leeds headed for Saturday’s huge test at third-placed Aston Villa sat 15th and six points clear of third-bottom West Ham in the division’s third and final relegation place.

Daniel Farke’s Whites then looked to move nine points clear of the dropzone as they led 1-0 heading into the closing stages at Villa Park, only for Tammy Abraham to net an 88th-minute equaliser which sealed a 1-1 draw.

The draw instead took Leeds seven points clear of West Ham who then had to settle for a draw themselves - a goalless one - from Saturday evening’s visit of Bournemouth, keeping Leeds six points ahead of them with just 11 games left.

United’s draw at Villa also took them a point further clear of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest and fifth-bottom Tottenham Hotspur although with Forest and Spurs both in action on Sunday.

Both, though, suffered defeats, Tottenham battered 4-1 by title-chasing Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Forest undone by a Alexis Mac Allister’s 97th-minute winner in a 1-0 loss at home to Liverpool.

Crystal Palace were the only winners as far as the bottom seven were concerned, the Eagles needing a late winner themselves to record a 1-0 victory against Wolves at Selhurst Park.

The win took Palace four points clear of Leeds who now have Brighton directly above them in 14th place but three points ahead of them.

Leeds, though, now sit two points ahead of Tottenham, four clear of Forest and still six ahead of West Ham with just 11 games left.

The picture is ever-changing and it’s led to changes in Leeds United’s relegation odds and predicted final table with the bookies based on those odds.

Here, in reverse order, is the full new rundown.
