Leeds United moved nine points clear of the bottom three with a 3-0 win over Watford on Saturday. The Whites secured a third victory in four matches to open up some clear breathing space between themselves and 18th place Burnley, who were beaten 2-0 by Norwich City 24 hours later.
The Clarets entered the clash at Carrow Road with three games in hand on Jesse Marsch’s side but blew a big chance to keep the pressure on the teams above them with a disappointing less against the league’s bottom club. Sean Dyche’s men play three times before Leeds are next in action though, as they face West Ham United, Southampton and Wolves before the Whites head to Crystal Palace.
That is likely to go a long way to deciding whether Leeds endure a nervy ending to the season, as anything less than six points will put Marsch’s men in a very commanding position. And even though it was an excellent weekend for Everton, their nerves will still be jangling.
