Leeds United earn transfer boost and Liverpool rise: Final 2020/21 Premier League table simulated

Leeds United are already guaranteed a top-half finish in their first season back in the Premier League - but they are tipped to scale even greater heights on the final day.

Currently sitting in tenth-place on 56 points, the Whites are set to take on already-relegated West Brom tomorrow afternoon (4pm).

Of course, it's a final day outing which marks the return of Leeds supporters to Elland Road - following the easing of Covid-19 restrictions last week.

Manchester City have already clinched a third title in four years, while they will be joined in the Champions League next season by neighbours Manchester United - Leeds' bitter rivals and Europa League finalists.

The final two spots, though, are up for grabs as Chelsea, Liverpool and FA Cup winners Leicester City prepare to see out a gripping three-way battle.

Qualification for Europe has proven a step too far for Leeds this season, although an eye-catching run of results has seen Marcelo Bielsa's widely revered squad threaten to upset the party.

As things stand, Leicester and West Ham occupy fifth and sixth-place respectively. Tottenham remain in contention, too, with the newly-established UEFA Europa Conference League set to be introduced this year as a supplementary competition to the Champions League and Europa League.

Along with Sheffield United and Fulham, second-bottom West Brom are fully aware of their relegation fate.

With all 20 clubs in Premier League action tomorrow afternoon, a final table has been predicted, and simulated, by Football Web Pages.

Leeds are tipped to earn a 2-0 victory over the Baggies which would move them up to ninth-place if the prediction of Everton going down 1-0 at champions City also plays out. Every position in the table is worth more money, so a move up just one place would add valuable money to the transfer kitty.

As for the top-four race, Liverpool are being backed to leapfrog Chelsea into third courtesy of a 2-0 verdict at home to Crystal Palace, with the Blues and Leicester expected to draw against Aston Villa and Tottenham respectively.

On the back of four-straight victories, Arsenal are viewed to be the biggest winners on the final day.

Indeed, in the event of them beating lowly Brighton, Tottenham's would-be draw with the Foxes would see Arsenal overhaul their rivals and finish seventh as a result.
