How Premier League managers fared in first four matches amid Sam Allardyce Leeds United appointment

Leeds United have turned to Sam Allardyce in their attempt to keep the Whites from relegation with just four Premier League matches left to play this season.

Games against Manchester City, Newcastle United, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur await Allardyce as he finds himself thrown into the deep end. Javi Gracia's 12-game spell came to an early end with a 4-1 defeat against Bournemouth, as the Spaniard leaves the club sitting outside of the relegation zone on goal difference alone.

And now the club will be hoping to benefit from a new manager 'bounce' that has been seen at Crystal Palace under Roy Hodgson. But with such a short space of time to get to terms with his new side, it's a case of now or never for both Leeds and Allardyce.
