Leeds United will head into the third international break of the season looking nervously over their shoulders at the Premier League relegation zone.
Sunday’s defeat at fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest means the Whites have now lost four of their last five league fixtures and are currently sitting one point and two places above the drop zone as several members of their squad head out on international duty.
A tough set of fixtures lies in wait on the other side of the break with Daniel Farke’s side set to face Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool in their next four fixtures - but where are they predicted to finish in this season’s Premier League and will they avoid relegation back into the Championship?
We take a look at a simulated final Premier League table with the help of Football Manager 2026 after Sports Interactive released the full version of the latest edition of their hugely popular gaming series last week.
