adminNew BBC relegation verdict made on Leeds United – Big, big trouble for the 49ers
Leeds United face a serious battle to avoid slipping into the relegation zone, with a tough set of fixtures awaiting them after the November international break.
Since returning from the October break, the team’s form has been deeply concerning.
Four matches against opponents also struggling for consistency offered a golden opportunity to collect points — yet Leeds managed just one win, at home against West Ham.
That victory accounted for their only points in that stretch, leaving the Whites just one point above the drop zone.
To make matters worse, Opta’s Supercomputer now predicts Leeds will finish inside the bottom three.
The team has conceded six goals in their last two outings — defeats to Brighton and Nottingham Forest that both followed an unsettling pattern.
The loss to Forest was especially troubling given their own poor season so far, a result that closed the gap between the two clubs.
Recent wins for Forest and West Ham have reshuffled the relegation probabilities, and according to Opta’s data (as shared by BBC Football), Leeds are now among the most likely sides to go down.
As the international break arrives, serious questions are being asked about Daniel Farke’s future.
The club’s ownership group, 49ers Enterprises, have so far stood by their manager — and early-season performances seemed to justify that faith.
But since October, Leeds’ displays have drastically declined, and confidence within the squad appears to be fading fast.
With a challenging run of fixtures on the horizon, it’s difficult to see where Farke’s side will find the results needed to turn things around.
Unless there’s a dramatic change in form, the club may soon be forced to consider a new manager to reignite their survival fight.
