Leeds United travel to Watford on Saturday for a match which could swing the balance of relegation one way or the other. Leeds United have picked up seven points from their last three matches, leaving them on 30 points, five ahead of Everton and six ahead of Burnley, who are 18th. Watford are on 22.
Looking up the table, Newcastle are on 31 points. That means if Newcastle lose on Friday night against Wolves and Leeds win on Saturday, the Whites could climb above the Geordies. Speaking ahead of the match, manager Jesse Marsch said: "The reality is we are still in a relegation battle, we know that. We are not foolish or naive to that."

The good news selection-wise is that Liam Cooper started the last game against Southampton and Kalvin Phillips came on as a substitute. That has left Marsche with tough decisions to make against Watford.
Against Southhampton the defence was Luke Ayling, Diego LLorente, Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas. Robin Koch and Pascal Struijk were on the bench. Further up the field against Southampton, Mateusz Klich and Adam Forshaw played. Presumably one of them is going to make way for Phillips.
Raphinha, Jack Harrison, Rodrigo and Daniel James also all played, with Joe Gelhardt on the bench. Gelhardt has not trained fully this week, but Marsche said he expected him to be available for the weekend, so there is an option for change there too. Marsch confirmed that Patrick Bamford is still out. Also still recovering from injury are Junior Firpo, Jamie Shackleton and Tyler Roberts.
