Fixture list hands Leeds United another nervous wait as rivals see crucial fixture rescheduled

As the battle to avoid the Premier League drop enters the final straight, Everton have seen their match against Brentford on Sunday, May 15 rescheduled. The clash will now kick off at 4.30pm to accommodate the Sky Sports cameras.

With Leeds United, Burnley and Everton all looking for edges in the relegation fight, any fixture move will have an impact and this is the case here with Jesse Marsch's side. Leeds will now finish their penultimate game of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion that afternoon with the Toffees still having three games left to play.

Should Leeds have managed to increase their two-point gap to Everton by then, they may have put pressure on the Toffee's two fixtures to be played before they kick-off simultaneously with the Whites on the final day. However, should the gap have shrunk or even been overhauled by then, Everton may have the advantage of knowing what they need to do in those two fixtures in order to ensure they go into the final day with a lead.
