Sam Allardyce concedes the odds are stacked against Leeds United in the Premier League relegation battle after Everton's rivals were also dealt a major injury blow in their defeat to West Ham United.
Despite taking the lead through Rodrigo on Sunday afternoon, Leeds were soundly beaten 3-1 by the Hammers to make it advantage Everton in the fight to beat the drop. To make matters worse, Patrick Bamford was forced off after 34 minutes, after picking up a hamstring problem.
At the same time as the Blues take on Bournemouth at Goodison Park next Sunday afternoon, the Whites will finish their campaign against Tottenham Hotspur - also with home advantage - while Leicester City have two chances to steer themselves away from trouble.
