Leeds United's best and worst-case scenarios in the relegation battle this weekend

Last weekend saw the nightmare scenario play out for Leeds United in the Premier League's relegation battle. The Whites went into the weekend knowing that their chances of pulling off a result against Manchester City were slim and although they did play well, they fell to a 4-0 loss to the champions.

However, it was results elsewhere which gave Jesse Marsch a real headache. Burnley were losing for the vast majority of their game, but they managed to score twice after the 80th minute to defeat Watford.

Meanwhile, Everton pulled off a shock result as they beat Chelsea. Those two results meant that Leeds now look favourites to go down, since they are equal on points with Burnley with a vastly inferior goal difference, whilst Everton have a game-in-hand in which to overturn the two point deficit that sees them behind Leeds in 18th place.
