Leeds United have been tipped to avoid relegation from the Premier League, with former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour predicting that the Whites will have enough to secure survival—while warning that the drop could instead claim Tottenham or West Ham.
Daniel Farke’s side currently sit four points clear of the relegation zone with seven games remaining, placing them in a relatively strong position as the season enters its निर्णающий final stretch.
Favourable Fixtures Could Be Key
A major reason behind the optimism surrounding Leeds is their run-in. They are set to face several direct relegation rivals, including Wolves, Burnley, West Ham, and Tottenham.
These fixtures could prove decisive, effectively turning Leeds’ survival bid into a series of “six-pointers.” If they can replicate earlier results against those sides, they could gather enough points to steer clear of danger.
Parlour believes this schedule gives Leeds a clear edge over their competitors.
“They play everyone around them… so they should have enough,” he said.
Pressure Mounts on Spurs and West Ham
While Leeds appear to have momentum, the pressure is mounting on Tottenham and West Ham, both of whom remain in serious danger of dropping into the Championship.
Parlour suggested that one of the two clubs is likely to go down—a scenario he described as “disastrous” given their stature and expectations.
With the gap between the teams still tight, every result in the coming weeks could dramatically reshape the table.
Injury Concerns Ahead of Man United Clash
Despite the positive outlook, Leeds face immediate challenges, particularly with injuries affecting key players.
Joe Rodon, Anton Stach, and Dan James are all ruled out for the upcoming clash against Manchester United, while several others remain doubts.
The trip to Old Trafford presents a daunting task. Leeds have struggled historically at the venue, with Manchester United unbeaten in their last 18 home league meetings against them.
Survival Still in Their Hands
Although Leeds are considered underdogs in their next fixture, their overall position means survival remains firmly within their control.
Their strong record in away draws this season and ability to grind out results could prove vital in the final weeks.
With crucial head-to-head clashes on the horizon, Leeds now have a clear path: win the games that matter most, and Premier League safety will follow.
