Leeds United warned over 'horrible' run of fixtures
Leeds United have been warned over a "horrible" end to their Premier League season by Ben Foster as the Whites finish their campaign with games against Manchester City, Newcastle, West Ham and Tottenham.
Javi Gracia's side currently sit 19th in the league but will take some comfort from the fact that Crystal Palace in 12th are just four points ahead of them. The bottom half of the table is incredibly congested and the Leeds boss knows that just one run of results could see his team quickly move away from the relegation zone.

But Foster has now warned the West Yorkshire side that they will need to put together a string of victories sooner rather than later, as they are presented with a difficult run of fixtures to finish the season.
“They’re the one I’m worried about though," Foster told his YouTube channel when asked about Leeds' fight against relegation. "Look at their little run-in. They’ve got a horrible little run-in.
“Three of their last four games of the season, they’ve got Tottenham in there, Man City, away at West Ham. Some real tough ones coming up.”
Leeds United's relegation rivals verdict as 'useless' Southampton and Everton face tough run-in
Chris Sutton has labelled Leeds United's relegations rivals Southampton as "useless" and stated that Everton have "the toughest fixtures to come"; while former Tottenham midfielder Sebastien Bassong claimed that the Whites hold an advantage over clubs such as Crystal Palace and Wolves who are "not ready" for a relegation battle.
Leeds are currently sat 19th in the Premier League with 12 games remaining. However, just five points separate Southampton in 20th and Crystal Palace in 12th.
Javi Gracia's side find themselves just four points off the Eagles and this is something that Bassong feels can benefit the West Yorkshire side ahead of the relegation run-in.
Rangers star Ryan Kent told to snub 'Championship' move amid Leeds United transfer links
Alan Hutton has told Rangers Star Ryan Kent to turn down a move to Leeds United should the Whites be relegated from the Premier League to the Championship this season.
Leeds are reportedly considering making a move for Kent in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Rangers winger is out of contract at the end of the season and is therefore free to negotiate pre-contract deals with other clubs with less than six months left on his current contract at Ibrox.
Leeds are thought to be among those interested in his services, but their summer transfer plans are currently shrouded in uncertainty as they continue to focus on their battle against relegation. Javi Gracia's side are sat 19th in the Premier League, but are just four points off Crystal Palace seven places above the Whites in 12th.
