Leeds return from the international break today ahead of a crucial run-in period that starts with the welcome of Southampton to Elland Road.
The Whites’ destiny isn’t quite back in their own hands yet but a win at home to the Saints and a loss for Burnley against Manchester City this afternoon could change that. Jesse Marsch’s side sit in 16th, seven points above the drop zone, but have played the most games out of the bottom five (30).
Victories in all three of Burnley’s games in hand would see them edge ahead of Leeds’ 29 points. Assuming Everton pick up six points in their three matches in credit, this would see the Whites sink into the bottom three.
