Javi Gracia knew exactly what the objective was when taking over at Leeds United from Jesse Marsch - Premier League survival. The Spaniard has taken four points from his opening three Premier League games in charge of the Whites, but they dropped into the bottom three with a draw against high flying Brighton at the weekend.
Their fate remains very much in their own control as they're set to take on a number of relegation rivals in the coming weeks. A supercomputer has already predicted survival by the finest of margins, but with 40 points generally considered the safe point in the Premier League, LeedsLive has taken a look at some of the stats from previous years to debunk that myth.
The Whites survived on the final day of last season with just 38 points, with Burnley going down on 35 points following defeat to Newcastle United on the final day, but Clarets had a vastly superior goal difference to Leeds which made a win at Brentford vital. Goals from Raphinha and Jack Harrison secured a dramatic final-day survival with a win over the Bees.
