Ex-Australian international Mark Schwarzer believes Leeds United's late season disciplinary record could cost them their status in the Premier League ahead of their relegation D-day clash with Brentford. Leeds travel to Brentford on Sunday knowing that even if they do win against the Bees, they might not be safe should Burnley beat Newcastle.
A plus-20 goal difference separates Burnley and Leeds, despite the fact the pair sit level on points in the Premier League table. Leeds will have to better the result of Burnley, how host the Magpies at Turf Moor.
Leeds would not be in this situation had they managed to pick up points against Arsenal or Chelsea weeks prior to their season finale. While they earned up a late stoppage-time point against Brighton last weekend, the games against Arsenal and Chelsea saw Leeds' lack of discipline hinder their relegation fight.
