Chris Sutton lays down Elland Road gauntlet as he makes Leeds United relegation prediction from Premier League
Chris Sutton believes that Leeds United will be saying farewell to the Premier League in their final game against Tottenham Hotspur.
The former Premier League striker does not see them winning any of their remaining five games and predicts them to lose against Bournemouth, Manchester City, Newcastle and West Ham.
He fancies them to pick up a point against Spurs but does not think that will be enough for them to get the job done.
He predicted all the results and wrote in the Daily Mail, “Manager Javi Gracia seems pleasant enough, but we know where nice guys usually finish.
“I haven’t seen enough from his side to suggest they will trouble their upcoming opponents.
“They will endure a series of losses, followed by a draw with Tottenham in a gloomy farewell at Elland Road.”
Harsh
Games against Bournemouth and West Ham are winnable, especially with both those sides all but safe from relegation and not looking behind their backs.
Spurs too, will possibly not have much to play for on the final day and the same can be said about Newcastle who look set to finish in the top four.
The City game is one that Gracia will be writing off but there’s still plenty left to fight for in the other four games as there are 12 points at stake.
Hopefully, Gracia can spark a response from these players who clearly aren’t performing to their standards and something needs to change.
It’ll be extremely infuriating if Willy Gnonto is still not starting as he’s one of the few players in this side who has the ability to be a game changer.
