“The person in this position, when things don’t go well, always gets blamed,” says the Leeds manager, Jesse Marsch. The club have two games to save their Premier League status, not because Marsch has failed since taking over in February but because of a collection of errors that has left them in a perilous position.
Marsch finds his side in 18th place heading into Brighton’s visit on Sunday for a game Leeds will see as their best chance to secure maximum points. Unfortunately for Leeds, Brighton have lost once – a 3-0 defeat away to Manchester City – in their past seven games. They have beaten Arsenal and Tottenham away in that period, so will not fear a trip to Yorkshire.
