The relegation battle has become very tight after an improved run of form by Burnley in the last ten days.
But there has been a change, not just in terms of results, but how they’ve gone about it. Given that the Whites are only three points away from that total, whilst Everton require eight more points to get there, Leeds are favourites, even with difficult fixtures remaining. "I think Everton will get to 35.
A fourth consecutive win moved Newcastle United up to ninth in the table and ended any lingering relegation doubts.
The Gunners are current favourites for fourth spot but face a tight battle with their north London rivals for Champions League football. The supercomputer predicts that Jurgen Kopp’s side will narrowly miss out on a second Premier League title. It will be a close title run-in, however Manchester City look like just having an edge to claim back-to-back Premier League titles.

“We just have to take the positives away. If you’d said to me five games ago that in the next five games you’d pick up 11 points, I’d have signed on the dotted line. “The result is big.
The Leeds-based media company behind productions on Leeds Rhinos and Leeds United have released a film about Glasgow Rangers. Ross Heppenstall reports.
“From a creative point, we take his words and use them in the film so, even though he’s not here, he’s still a really important voice in the story. Rangers supporters in their forties and fifties onwards have told me they are really glad that this film has been made so they can see important this team was. The trophy presentation was anything but conventional either. “A lot of the younger generation’s parents or grandparents might have been in Barcelona, so it’s nice to have these stories passed on and documented in a film.” “What I think we do well in the film is take Waddell to the screen through what the players said about him and we have also used his actual handwritten notes and tactics from the 1971-72 European campaign. Rangers72 paints a picture of life in Glasgow in the early 1970s and details how Waddell led the club’s response to the tragedy, laying the foundations for their European success.
Leeds United ended their 16-day wait for a Premier League fixture last night with a goalless draw against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
After this weekend’s home match with Chelsea, Everton will target the next four fixtures as their opportunity to escape from danger. With Leeds playing City, Everton hosting Chelsea and Burnley making the trip to Watford this weekend, the Clarets could see this as another huge opportunity to pull away from danger. Everton are now the side who find themselves in the bottom three as the Toffees continue to struggle away from Goodison Park.
European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be ...
Zaha gets a second bite at it from a tighter angle, but the keeper stretches to kick that one away as well. Clyne fizzes a great throughball down the left for Olise, but a heavy touch takes it away from him before he can put in a cross. He has Schlupp ahead of him, but he knocks it straight out of play to big groans from the fans. The points are shared after a goalless draw between Crystal Palace and Leeds United. The hosts dominated the game, creating some great chances, but they just couldn't find a way through their opponents. His shot takes a deflection off Ayling, and it loops just wide of the far top corner. Leeds stay in 16th, and that point means they're now five points above Everton and the relegation zone.

Leeds lose it, Palace break, Ayling trips Zaha. A yellow for me, that. Toes it past the keeper but there's not quite enough on it and Leeds are able to hack it clear. Will we see a bit more quality in the second dig? A nice crossfield pass here, Raphinha picks it up in the inside right channel, cuts inside and tries to fire it left foot. Leeds are the first to show here. Booking for that, and then a booking for Ward as well for retaliating. It all made for a well-earned point for Leeds, even if they might have needed more. The arrival of Michael Olise helped in that regard and before long they were creating chances for Zaha — denied twice by Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier — and Conor Gallagher, who fired over from range. The scrappiness of the game did not suit Palace’s players, who created chances but never looked likely to show the ruthless edge that was required against a spirited Leeds backline. Such was the animosity that Vieira once accused Marsch of swaying the referees by “crying all week” in the build-up to the game. An ugly point, but a point nonetheless for a Leeds United team that remains a part of this relegation scrap whether they like it or not. The fixture list is not a source of encouragement for Leeds, who face Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea in their next three games.
Jesse Marsch has confirmed Leeds United's team at Crystal Palace in he Premier League on Monday night at Selhurst Park.
Illan Meslier has recovered from the knock at Wolverhampton Wanderers while Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas continue in the full-back positions. Diego Llorente retains his place alongside Liam Cooper after praise from Marsch for the clean sheet at Vicarage Road. One change was enough for Jesse Marsch in the Leeds United line-up which saw off Watford 3-0 more than two weeks ago with Kalvin Phillips restored.

Next up for the Whites is a match with top of the table Manchester City, at Elland Road. A lively feel to the match continued. His low left-footed ball into the middle found Mateta in space, but the forward smashed it high over the bar. Little free-kicks were being awarded in all areas of the pitch which stopped any flow or rhythm that either team could attempt to get into. When the whistle went for the interval, no major chances had come at either end meaning each goalkeeper hadn’t really been tested either. Jack Harrison and Stuart Dallas had goal bound efforts well blocked, before Liam Cooper connected well with a Harrison corner only to see Vicente Guaita save his header.
Leeds United shared the spoils against Crystal Palace as the two sides played out a goalless draw at Selhurst Park on Monday night (April 25).
With each passing game, the decision to start him as a nine seems only more baffling. The left foot of Harrison was more threatening than Raphinha’s today. Patrick Vieira set his team up to force Leeds to play it wide instead of dominating in the middle. He was imperious in the air and did not lose a single duel. He did not do enough to link up with the attacking players and defensively he surely could have done better. Made seven decent saves as well including two back to back ones in the dying stages.
Palace got the first sight of goal on five minutes as Mateta latched onto an excellent long ball over the top. He lifted the ball past Meslier, but Llorente ...
Palace built up their dominance as the game went on, with Gallagher in particular finding space to pepper the goal with a few shots to no avail. Leeds’ only real sight of goal in the first half came from two set-pieces, with Cooper and Rodrigo heading at goal with no success.

I think they’ve got the momentum, obviously recently they’re out of the bottom three now. Having found a new lease of life under caretaker manager Mike Jackson, Burnley look to be in the best form of the three. Honestly, on that performance today [2-0 loss to Liverpool], if I was an Everton fan, I’d be thinking we’ve got hope here, Leeds could get dragged into it.
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 ...
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. Jesse Marsch knows that his stint will be considered a success if and only if he manages to keep Leeds in the top flight. 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.
Former Premier League striker Michael Owen believes Leeds are still in relegation trouble after recent results for Everton and Burnley.
And I'm then looking at Leeds' fixtures and thinking can they get four points out of that? The Clarets have played a game more than Leeds, while Everton trail the Whites by four points having also played 32 times this season. The Whites face Crystal Palace, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal over the course of their next four games but are just four points clear of the bottom three as the campaign heads into the final straight.

Klich insists that no one at Elland Road wants to have a relegation on their CV and is pleased with the direction the club are heading in under Marsch, who came in when Marcelo Bielsa was sacked. The midfielder added that “everything’s going in a good direction” under Marsch. It could come tonight as they face a crunch meeting with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in a bid to continue their positive form under Marsch.
Kalvin Phillips makes his first start since December, with Robin Koch making way. Leeds United fans have been reacting on social media:
Could’ve done with Summerville on the bench. To have KP back could be such a difference, but not a ton of attacking options on the bench. @H_Bottley: Strongest line up I’ve seen in a while.
Phillips was making his first start in four months for Leeds, helping them to earn a point at Selhurst Park.
Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch insists that he is learning about the identity of Yorkshire and loving his time in Leeds.
“I’m enjoying the experience, so the best thing I can do for Yorkshire is to help our team win matches. The Leeds manager insists that the best thing he can do for the city is to help the Whites win matches. The 48-year-old has also started to get the fans on his side following an impressive start and is helping his cause by engaging in the job of trying to learn all about the identity of Yorkshire and its people.
Today's transfer gossip includes links to 'the next Jack Grealish' and a potential move for Aberdeen defender Calvin Ramsay.
In recent games, Scott has featured at wing-back, but is seen as a more creative midfielder, with his performances for Bristol this season having attracted plenty of admirers from potential Premier League suitors. The 18-year-old has become a regular for the Dons, having made 23 appearances in the Scottish Premier League this season. He has scored four goals and registered two assists, no mean feat given the quality of the English second tier.

Leeds United forward Dan James was slammed by Chris Sutton for a foul on Joel Ward that got both players booked at Crystal Palace Monday night (25 April).
What was the point of that? Ward was always getting there first.” The challenge resulted in James’ seventh booking in the league this year, identifying a real weakness in his game, and Sutton was outraged at the incident on the match commentary.

Leeds are five points clear of the relegation zone, but third bottom Everton have a game in hand to close the gap to two points. We will take the positives," Marsch said. Leeds held on for a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace that did little to ease their fears of being dragged deeper into the Premier League relegation battle on Monday. Jesse Marsch's side survived a second half barrage from a Palace team inspired by Wilfried Zaha after he was accused of diving by the visitors.

Leeds United were crowned English football's First Division champions on 26 April 1992 as the Whites defeated Sheffield United 3-2 at Bramall Lane.
There have been core themes to the last 30 years of Leeds United's decorated history: financial disorganisation, administration and redemption. The club's second tier triumph in 2020 was the first opportunity an entire generation of Leeds supporters had to celebrate a truly consequential achievement. Gordon Strachan's quick-thinking at a short free-kick allowed Leeds to draw level before the break as Rod Wallace tore through.
Jamie Carragher and Robbie Keane discussed the differences between Marcelo Bielsa and Jesse Marsch's Leeds United on Monday Night Football.
He has them more organised and the players are probably enjoying it a little more." The thing you associated with Leeds was the training and we all loved it. We talk about Burnley making a brave decision, it’s the same with Leeds. It’s still mad and frantic but there has been some subtle changes.
BBC commentator Jonathan Pearce made an embarrassing slip of the tongue live during the Leeds United draw with Crystal Palace last night (25 April).
After Pearce had run down the upcoming fixtures on the BBC Radio 5 Live match broadcast (25 April, 08.25pm), co-commentator Chris Sutton asked: “Have you done a little points tally for teams at the bottom? You know I talk about manager’s success rates? success rate.

You have to find way to be good on the count, make it difficult on the opponent and to still have a little bit more creativity and ideas on how to connect to get to the final third, then create big chances. "It's because we're not spread out all over the pitch and allowing the opponent to win balls and attack us straight down the middle. We certainly have more work to do and there's some moments when we're man marking phases and trying to break out of that more and more. "In some moments we executed well against the ball well and in other moments we should have done better with the ball. More work to do with the ball and creating chances. If we can continue to do that, against good opponents, then we believe in our ability up the field to still find goals." JM: "We thought that we could win more balls in the middle of the field. JM: "No, I just felt like we needed more of a defensive presence in there and an ability to help press. To be fair, Illan [Meslier] was brave in a lot of moments and got our centre-backs into the game. "I know this season already, one of my teams has played against Man City and I know what a challenge that game is, I know how difficult it is to limit their best players from making good plays and their movement and ideas of what to do with the ball. "It was not so easy with 16 days to keep game fitness and game sharpness and that bit showed a little bit. Then a lot of times when we won the ball we gave it back in the first-half.
Simon Jordan has given his thoughts on what Leeds United must do to compete at the top.
“So, I wouldn’t be surprised, if he’s going to make this sort of claim, he can’t make it on £50m spends. “Now they’ve got to match it with the dough. “Because I tell you what, the size and scale of that football club, every day in the top half of the league, every day in the top eight of the league, because the scale and passion and commitment and history of this football club and the feeling about it, is there.

One player who endured a rather more frustrating night in the centre of the park for Leeds, was Mateusz Klich. For the first time since he suffered that hamstring injury in December, the England international was named in a starting lineup for Leeds, and would go on to complete the full 90 minutes of the game, doing so unscathed. But just who came out of that game well for Jesse Marsch’s side, and who endured a night they might rather forget?
Marcelo Bielsa's former translator Andres Clavijo was spotted at Selhurst Park on Monday night as Leeds United drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace.
We can picture him in Argentine with a cup of coffee, sat in his garden with the Whites versus Palace on his television or on the radio. However, it seems as though he’s still keen on following the Whites as he was seen at Selhurst Park on Monday. Clavijo, who also served as a first-team analyst in his time at Elland Road, confirmed his exit from the Yorkshire club on 2 March in the aftermath of Bielsa’s sacking.
Leeds United are set to take on the league leaders at one of the most precarious moments of the Whites' Premier League season.
His promotion of Rodrigo to the senior leadership group, for instance, is already paying dividends on the pitch and in terms of results. Marsch has shown great faith in the Whites' young players since he arrived at the club in February. On Monday, he trusted Gelhardt and Greenwood to change the game in the second half as the Premier League clash threatened to turn into a stalemate. Some critics were disparaging about the performative way Marsch gathered his players together for a huddle on the pitch at the King Power Stadium after the Whites lost his first game in charge against Leicester in March, but you can't deny the impact of his person-orientated approach.
