Leeds United must make Elland Road a fortress as push comes to shove in relegation battle

Leeds United must ensure that they make full use of home advantage in their next two matches if they are to have any chance of avoid relegation from the Premier League. They host Chelsea and Brighton at Elland Road before travelling to West London to face Brentford on the final day of the season.

The two games at home will be season-defining as the away trip in the last game could be inconsequential if no points are collected in the next two. Points on the board is the only thing that matters now after the nightmare start at the Emirates against Arsenal led to a fruitless trip to North London.

Despite having arguably the best home support in the league, Leeds’ home points total stands at just 17, a tally that only beats already-relegated pair Norwich and Watford. It means the Whites have averaged just one point per game at Elland Road this term and that may not be enough to secure Premier League survival.
