Former Chelsea defender Mario Melchiot believes Leeds United need to adopt a cup final mentality if they want to achieve Premier League survival this weekend. The Whites' relegation hopes rest on their final day of the season clash at Brentford, with Jesse Marsch's side needing to better Burnley's result to stay up.
The Clarets sit above Leeds on goal difference heading into the final match day of the season after they drew with Aston Villa to draw level on points with the Whites. Mike Jackson's men welcome Newcastle United to Turf Moor on Sunday, knowing that their 20-goal advantage over Leeds will mean a win will keep them up.
However, while Leeds' fate is almost certainly out of their hands should Burnley win, Melchiot, who tasted relegation with Birmingham City in 2006, reckons Marsch and company need to show guts and belief if they want to stay in the Premier League.
