Why Aston Villa could provide Leeds United hope for Premier League survival

Jesse Marsch and Leeds United now know that it's possible that they could win every single one of their final four fixtures and not stay in the Premier League, as long as Burnley and Everton match their results. Of course, that's incredibly improbable at the bottom end of the table, but Leeds' fate is now out of their own hands, following a weekend which saw Burnley make a late comeback to defeat Watford and Everton pick up a surprise victory over Chelsea.

The Whites are now just two points ahead of Everton but Frank Lampard's side have five games to play, compared to the Whites' four. One of those five comes against Watford, who are on a run of five straight defeats and are almost certain to be relegated by the time they face the Toffees. Everton face Arsenal in a difficul final day fixture but they have home games against Crystal Palace and Brentford, where they will fancy more points.

Leeds ' own run features Arsenal away and Chelsea at home, before fixtures against Brighton and Brentford which could prove must-win, depending on how their rivals have performed. One team in particular could do Leeds a huge favour in this regard.
