Ex-Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson has revealed it would be "a sad day" if his Brentford side prevented the Whites from securing their Premier League survival when the two teams face-off this weekend. Leeds travel to Brentford on Sunday, knowing that they will almost certainly have to win to stay in the Premier League.
An injury-time equaliser from Pascal Struijk helped the Whites out of the relegation zone last time out, but Jesse Marsch's side could find themselves back in the bottom three should Burnley pick up a point or beat Aston Villa in their game in hand. Departing for Brentford in July 2019, Jansson made 120 appearances during his time at Elland Road, almost helping Leeds to the play-off final in the 2018/19 campaign that saw the Whites lose out to Derby in the semi-finals in agonising fashion.
The 31-year-old Swedish defender played a pivotal role in helping Brentford reach the Premier League last season, and has been a mainstay in the Bees starting XI since his arrival in West London.
