Daniel Farke has guided Leeds United to four unbeaten league games, including two consecutive victories. This surge in form provides a vital cushion over their relegation rivals. Their remaining schedule looks favorable, featuring a home clash against a struggling Burnley side on 1 May as they fight to stay up.
Contrastingly, Nottingham Forest and West Ham face a steeper climb. Forest must navigate away trips to Chelsea and Manchester United, while West Ham deal with a congested mid-table where only seven points separate sixth and 14th place. These teams face tougher opposition as they battle for survival in a tight league.
Burnley and Wolves face near-impossible odds to avoid the drop. Burnley needs to win all six remaining matches, including fixtures against Manchester City and Arsenal. Wolves require a 20-goal swing in goal difference and a perfect winning streak to survive. Leeds currently hold the upper hand in this survival race.
