BBC Sport pundits Mark Lawrenson and Fara Williams cannot see Leeds United escaping their battle against Premier League relegation. The Whites currently sit in the bottom three with just two matches remaining, with the two sides above them – Burnley and Everton – both having a game in hand.
Leeds have picked up just one point from their last four matches which has seen them slip into the relegation zone for the first time since October, with their poor run coinciding with Burnley’s best form of the season. After a five-match unbeaten streak during Jesse Marsch’s early days as manager, Leeds have struggled hugely since, with performances arguably at the worst level they have been all season.
Speaking on BBC One’s Football Focus, Lawrenson – in his final ever show – claimed that Leeds have lost everything that was good about them, while 172-time capped England Women’s midfielder Williams thinks it was an impossible job for Marsch to be able to change how the Whites play in such a short space of time.
