Leeds United slipped into the relegation zone for the first time since October following their 2-1 defeat at Arsenal on Sunday. The Whites’ loss at the Emirates – coupled with Everton’s win at Leicester City, saw Leeds drop down into 18 th place ahead of the final three matches.
Jesse Marsch’s side begin their run in with another daunting clash against one of the Premier League’s top four sides, Chelsea. After back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and Arsenal, Leeds now host the European champions at Elland Road knowing that some sort of result is imperative given their current situation in the table.
Burnley do not play again until Sunday, meaning a defeat for Leeds they remain behind them with a far inferior goal difference, having played a game less. But on paper, the Clarets also have a tricky run in as they head to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
