Javi Gracia has vowed to 'fight until the end' as Leeds United attempt to escape relegation from the Premier League.
The Spaniard has amassed four points from his opening three league games at the helm, but was unable to prevent them dropping back into the relegation zone last weekend, despite drawing 2-2 against Brighton.
Leeds are only one-point adrift of safety and face another crucial clash against fellow relegation rivals Wolves at Molineux on Saturday.

The bottom eight clubs in the Premier League are separated by just five points, and Gracia is confident that Leeds can fight their way to safety amidst such a tight battle.
"There are many teams involved in relegation. As I told you many times, we are focused on the next game, giving the most importance to the points in play," he revealed in his pre-match press conference.
"We know it will be in a similar way until the end. We have to be ready and focused in every game - trying to give our best. I'm sure we will be fighting until the end.
"When I came here three weeks ago, I knew the objective was to remain in the Premier League. And I'm sure of that (we will stay up)."
