Leeds United face another pivotal match in their battle to beat the drop as they host Chelsea on Wednesday night. With Burnley not in action until Sunday, the Whites could heap the pressure on their relegation rivals if they secure all three points.
Following Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at Arsenal, and Everton’s win at Leicester City, Leeds slid into the bottom three for the first time since October. With just three matches of the run-in remaining, Jesse Marsch’s side know that a result of some kind is a must due to their far inferior goal difference.
Everton, the other side fighting for survival, are also in action on Wednesday night when they make the trip to already relegated Watford. Given that the Toffees have played a game less than both Leeds and Burnley, a win at Vicarage Road would put themselves within touching distance of survival.
