Leeds United were on their worst run of the season at the time Marcelo Bielsa was relieved of his duties as manager. They had lost five of their last six fixtures, with only a draw at Aston Villa breaking up the losing run.
When Jesse Marsch took over as manager at the end of February, he was unable to half the losing run, as he lost his first game at Leicester City, despite an improved performance. That was then followed by a terrible performance and a 3-0 loss against Aston Villa at Elland Road.
Fortunately though, Leeds 'got their mojo back', according to Leeds cult hero, Vinnie Jones, as they recorded victories in the following two games. First, there was the 2-1 victory over Norwich City and then the scarcely believable comeback from 2-0 down to defeat Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

Both games were won in stoppage time and Jones believes those six points will have provided Marsch's team with the boost needed to continue their winning run against Southampton on Saturday. "They were great scenes after the turnaround at Wolves and the signs are better now", he told Easy Odds.
Speaking about the relegation battle as a whole, the former Leeds midfielder feels that the current bottom three will have their work cut out for them if they are to escape the relegation zone as he said, " something needs to happen for the teams at the bottom of the Premier League for anything to change." Leeds were the only team in the relegation battle that Jones tipped for victory this weekend.
