Sam Allardyce will be watching through his fingers as today’s Premier League results roll in. The Leeds United head coach will spend the day putting the finishing touches to a game plan that he believes will be enough to see the Whites end their seven-game winless run and breathe life into their hopes of survival when they take on West Ham United on Sunday.
However, he also knows that Leeds could be facing a mountain the size of Everest to climb by the time they kick-off at the London Stadium if results don’t go their way. At the time of writing Leeds sit just one point off the pace in the survival race, behind Everton and Nottingham Forest, who have managed to climb out of the bottom three in recent weeks.
Both are in action this afternoon with Sean Dyche’s Everton travelling to Wolves, who have already done enough to secure another season of top flight football despite struggling for large periods of the campaign. Forest, on the other hand, take on Arsenal, who will still be reeling from their costly loss to Brighton last weekend.
