Leeds United's post-international break fixtures compared with every club in relegation battle

As the international break is upon us, many of the teams in the Premier League will have a two-week break in order to regroup for the final push at the end of what has been a strange season.

With the World Cup taking place in the middle of the campaign for the first time ever, it's been an adjustment everyone has had to deal with and while some have dealt with it better than others, all will try to have the final say when it's all said and done.

Leeds United currently find themselves in 14th thanks to a huge 4-2 win over fellow relegation candidates Wolves but remain only two points off the drop zone despite leaping five places over the weekend.

But with just four points covering the bottom nine clubs, any three of them could be the ones to be relegated into the Championship with West Ham, Bournemouth and Southampton the current occupiers of those spots in what is the closest relegation battle in years.
