At the business end of the Premier League season, every game is important for clubs hovering dangerously near the foot of the table.

It may be a cliché but Leeds United have four cup finals remaining this season as they seek to retain their top flight status. Two of the club’s rivals in the fight for survival did battle last night (May 1), but 90 minutes could not separate Leicester City and Everton.

Following the 2-2 draw between the Foxes and the Toffees, FiveThirtyEight’s supercomputer has updated its predictions for how the Premier league table will look once all games have been played.

The supercomputer is anticipating a tense battle, with just a point separating 17th and 18th. Southampton are the club predicted to occupy the foot of the table, meanwhile FiveThirtyEight think the Saints will be joined in the drop zone by Leeds United and Everton.
