As if being two points clear of safety going into the final day weren’t bad enough, Leeds United might need a goal difference swing to go in their favour even if they were to find a way to beat Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.
If Everton were to draw with Bournemouth, a United victory would only be enough if they won by three clear goals or more (and that’s all assuming that Leicester City also dropped points at home to West Ham United). What are the chances they might be able to do that? No, seriously: what are the chances?
Well, the good news is that Spurs have one of the worst defensive records in the division away from home this season, shipping 37 goals in 18 games on their travels, and that has been a particular issue over the past couple of months.
