Ben Mee pinpoints season-defining fixtures for Leeds United as Whites' form nosedives

Brentford defender Ben Mee has pinpointed Leeds United's games against Fulham, Leicester City and Bournemouth as 'huge fixtures' in their fight for survival.

Leeds sit just two points clear of danger after losing back-to-back matches against Crystal Palace and Liverpool respectively.

The Whites leaked 11 goals across both games - losing 5-1 at the hands of Crystal Palace, and 6-1 against Liverpool in front of their own supporters at Elland Road.

Javi Gracia faces the unenviable task of forcing a reaction from his players, and Mee believes the next three games could be defining in their quest to preserve their Premier League status.

"I’d be looking at those three fixtures - Fulham, Leicester, Bournemouth - as huge fixtures. Two away fixtures, one home fixture, but those three, and then you see where you’re at after," Mee told Sky Sports.

"You fancy your chances against all of them, being in and around you, and the final four are tough games. City away - those are going to be really tough, and the rest of those three fixtures are going to be tough towards the end of the season as well."
