Sam Allardyce's Elland Road touchline dilemma as Leeds United approach nerve-racking final day

Sam Allardyce won’t allow what’s happening elsewhere on Sunday to shape proceedings at Elland Road as Leeds United battle to save their Premier League skins. Recent results have left Leeds sitting two points adrift of survival as they head into the final weekend of top flight fixtures.

They know that only a win will do on home soil against Ryan Mason’s out of sorts Tottenham Hotspur, but there’s a strong chance that even three points wouldn’t be enough to see Leeds move out of the bottom three. United’s fate is dependent on results elsewhere going their way too, with Everton and Leicester City in the mix as well.

Everton’s final game of the season comes against Bournemouth at Goodison Park, while Leicester host the same West Ham United side that thumped Leeds 3-1 at the London Stadium last week. Both teams need to falter for the Whites to have any chance of jumping above them and climbing out of the Premier League’s bottom three and fans will be keeping a close eye on both games.
