Leeds United get the one boost they needed over Burnley and Everton in fateful final week

Unlike Burnley and Everton, Leeds United have a clear week to prepare for a final day which will decide Premier League relegation. After three matches in seven days, head coach Jesse Marsch is glad of the chance to get his players holed up at Thorp Arch for the week.

On Thursday night, less than 72 hours before all 20 teams kick-off their final matches on Sunday, Burnley visit Aston Villa and Everton host Crystal Palace. Leeds, meanwhile, will be training and recuperating at their own pace on the training ground.

The week out of the fire comes at a good time for Marsch who, after watching his side dig out a last-gasp draw with Brighton & Hove Albion, admits his squad were out on their feet at full-time. Stuart Dallas, Daniel James, Luke Ayling, Adam Forshaw, Tyler Roberts, Patrick Bamford and Crysencio Summerville have all been unable to share the load with their team-mates across the past week for one reason or another.
