Former Leeds United defender Rio Ferdinand has warned his old side that they face a 'hard slog' in the battle against relegation following the 1-0 defeat at Leicester City.
The narrow loss at the King Power meant Leeds have now gone eight games without a win and left them sitting just three points ahead of the drop zone ahead of Saturday's 3pm kick-offs.
Jesse Marsch was in the dugout for the first time after he was handed the reigns following Marcelo Bielsa's sacking last weekend and although his side put in a much-improved defensive performance, it was not enough to prevent another defeat, thanks to Harvey Barnes' second-half goal.
