Eddie Gray tells Leeds boss Jesse Marsch how to avoid repeat of top-flight relegation

Elland Road legend Eddie Gray managed Leeds when they were last relegated from the Premier League in 2004 and has detailed what they need to do to survive.

Jesse Marsch’s side have slipped into the bottom three and Gray says their next two matches against Chelsea on Wednesday and Brighton on Sunday at Elland Road could decide their fate. He believes Leeds will be safe if they can win both to reach the magic 40-point mark.

No side has been relegated with 40 points since West Ham in 2003 and Gray believes that total will be enough. Gray said: “If I look at it with my white hat on, I think they’ll be OK,” he told Mirror Sport.
