Micah Richards isn’t writing off Leeds United’s chances of Premier League survival this week just yet. Sunday’s defeat to West Ham United in east London ensures Leeds find themselves two points adrift of safety as they head into this weekend’s final round of top flight fixtures.
The Whites need to beat Tottenham Hotspur in order to give themselves a chance of survival, but they also need results elsewhere to go their way in order to clamber out of the bottom three. Leicester City’s draw with Newcastle United on Monday night means Leeds will be hoping the Foxes, who sit above Leeds on goal difference, falter against West Ham United at the King Power Stadium.
United will also be keeping tabs on the scoreline at Goodison Park as Everton take on Bournemouth. Everton must fall short against the Cherries if Leeds are to have any hope of leapfrogging them and claiming 17th position.
