Supercomputer backs Leeds in tense survival fight with Tottenham, Forest and West Ham | OneFootball

Leeds United head back to the Premier League on Monday night at Manchester United, with Opta’s supercomputer offering strong backing in its projected final table and points. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the model points to a nail-biting finish in the survival race involving Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest and West Ham.

Leeds set up an FA Cup semi-final for the first time in 39 years with Sunday’s penalty shootout win at West Ham. Farke has framed the league fight as the club’s bread and butter as attention shifts back to survival.

The Whites have gone four league matches without a goal, though the last two finished goalless against Crystal Palace and, most recently, Brentford.

With seven games left, Leeds are 15th, four points above third-bottom West Ham, three clear of fourth-bottom Tottenham Hotspur and one ahead of fifth-bottom Nottingham Forest. Crystal Palace are six points better off in 14th. Wolves and Burnley sit adrift in the bottom two.

Tottenham now have Roberto De Zerbi in charge for their survival fight, while the supercomputer projects a tense finale with strong backing for Farke’s side. The run-in begins at Old Trafford.
