Leeds United could be all but relegated from the Premier League this weekend if results play out in a particular way. If Leeds lose and Burnley and Everton both win, it leaves Jesse Marsch's side needing a goal difference miraclee.
Club legend John Giles has spoken about the precarious situation, saying it as a 'tough time' for Leeds fans.
He told Off the Ball "It's not good as we know. Poor result the other night against Chelsea, totally outplayed and in the relegation zone now. So, it's a tough time for Leeds at the moment and their supporters, there's no doubt about that."

He was also asked about Leeds' recent indiscipline as red cards for Luke Ayling and Daniel James have cost the Whites badly in recent games. Giles said, "The one against Arsenal was outrageous. He's [Ayling] a very good players as we know, one of Leeds' best players, and I've never seen him do anything like that before. Maybe the pressure is getting to them a bit.
"We saw the other night with Dan James, James is inclined to [make] bad tackles now and again but this was a really bad one. The response from the touchline with Ayling and James, Jesse Marsch was looking to see why they were sent off. There was no doubt they were going to be sent off because they were two bad tackles. It's just what they didn't need in the important matches that they've got at the moment."
Whites fans will be hoping to see one of Burnley and Everton, or even both, lose this weekend. Should that be the case and Leeds manage to pick up a win against Brighton, they can put the pressure back on their rivals. As it stands, Marsch and his side have all the work to do.
