Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has not held back with his Leeds United verdict heading into the final day of the season. The Whites know they must win at Tottenham Hotspur and hope both Everton and Leicester City lose to ensure they'll be playing Premier League football next season.
Keeping a clean sheet would be a good start for the Whites, but easier said than done given they've the worst defensive record in the entire division. Leeds have conceded 74 goals in 37 games, conceding on average two goals a game.
In fact, the Whites have been so bad at the back they've broken Premier League records for the most goals conceded in a month - breaking their own record from last season. In February last season, Leeds conceded 20 goals which was the previous worst for goals conceded in a calendar month, but would surpass that by shipping 23 goals in the top flight in April, rounding off a terrible month.

The torrid run of form would cost Javi Gracia his job, leaving current boss Sam Allardyce just four games to save the Whites' season. A man who has built a reputation on defensively sound teams, has struggled to get a tune out of his players, admitting they couldn't attack or defend in their 3-1 defeat to West Ham United at the weekend.
"They’ve got terrible defenders, Leeds, they really, really have," Carragher told Sky Sports. "Sam Allardyce has come in and they’ve conceded seven goals in three games, and he’s a manager who’s known for making it difficult for the opposition."
