With less than a fortnight remaining in the Premier League season, Leeds United's top-flight fate remains in the balance. Southampton's demotion to the Championship was confirmed in the latest round of fixtures, with Leicester City still to play against in-form Liverpool on Monday night.
The Whites closed the gap to safety to a point as it stands, with a hard-fought 2-2 home draw with Newcastle United. Luke Ayling gave Sam Allardyce's side the perfect start, but the hosts required a late deflected Ramus Kristensen strike to end a six-match losing run.
Nottingham Forest picked up a point on the road, with a Taiwo Awoniyi brace earning a 2-2 draw at Chelsea. Everton were unable to build upon their shock emphatic victory at Brighton, with defending champions Manchester City recording a comfortable 3-0 victory at Goodison Park the following day.
