Leeds United Premier League future relying on 'something mad' happening on final day

Gary Neville thinks the only way Leeds United will avoid relegation to the Championship on Sunday is if 'something mad' happens. Sam Allardyce's side know their future is out of their hands now following the 3-1 defeat to West Ham on Sunday.

It means Everton just need to win at home to Bournemouth to guarantee they will be playing Premier League football next season, condeming Leeds and Leicester City to relegation. The Foxes drew 0-0 with Newcastle United at St James' Park on Monday night to move ahead of Leeds on goal difference, but both sides need to win their final day game and hope Everton slip up to stand any chance of survival.

Even an Everton draw is unlikely to help Leeds, as they would need to beat Tottenham by at least three goals to cancel out the Toffees' currently superior goal difference. Sky Sports pundit Neville feels it's probably too much for Leeds to expect - although pointed out the pressure will all be on Everton at Goodison Park.
