The Premier League relegation battle took another twist this weekend as Leeds United moved into the bottom three. Leeds were beaten 2-1 by Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday and dropped to 18th place as a result of Everton’s win at Leicester City.
The Whites remain level on 34 points with Burnley, whose good run of form came to an end with a 3-1 home defeat to Aston Villa. Mike Jackson’s side are ahead of Leeds thanks to their far superior goal difference and so in the final three games of the season, will only have to match their points total to ensure they finish above them.
It is a quick turnaround for both Leeds and Everton this week, as they face Chelsea and Watford respectively on Wednesday night. The Toffees will see that as a huge opportunity to all but guarantee their safety, given that Watford are now already relegated.
