BT Sport pundit Don Hutchison drops worrying Leeds United admission ahead of Crystal Palace clash
Don Hutchison believes that Leeds United are still not out of the relegation battle despite Everton’s loss against Liverpool on Sunday.
Ahead of the Crystal Palace game, the BT Sport pundit admits that it could be a tough one for the Whites.
He also thinks that all Everton fans will be hoping that the London outfit can secure three points later tonight.
Speaking on Premier League Fanzone, “Everton and their fans are hoping that Leeds do them a favour and lose their games starting with Crystal Palace which is going to be some game. They’re not out of it [relegation race].”
One more win
All these relegation fears will vanish if Leeds win just one more game in the Premier League.
Burnley have been fighting tooth and nail and now are above Everton on the table.
While there remains some gap between them and Leeds, the Yorkshire club are not quite out of it.
Hopefully, they get the job done today against Palace and take a giant step forward towards securing Premier League status for next season.
Jesse Marsch knows that his stint will be considered a success if and only if he manages to keep Leeds in the top flight.
Relegation would be a devastating blow and he could even lose his job if that happens.
We’re hoping that things do not get to that level and they can mathematically secure safety weeks before the season ends.
In other Leeds United news, the Whites are leading the race to complete a major signing and have already opened talks to seal a £25m deal.
