The changes Sam Allardyce has made to Leeds United has made it 'easier to fight' for Premier League survival, according to Peter Schmeichel. The former Manchester United goalkeeper may have played the majority of his career in England for Leeds' rivals at Old Trafford, but the big Dane is backing the Whites to beat the drop.
Allardyce may have seen Leeds pick up just one point from his two games in charge so far, but the battling nature of the performances against Manchester City and Newcastle have encouraged many fans. Whether it comes too late to save their Premier League future remains to be seen, and with just two games of the season remaining, Leeds are in the bottom three.
There is hope, of course, with Allardyce's men travelling to West Ham on Sunday before hosting Tottenham on the final day. Both opposition are likely to have nothing to play for but pride, with the Hammers potentially having one eye on a Europa Conference League final.
