A round-up of the latest Leeds United morning headlines on Monday, April 18.
Burnley's united dressing room despite West Ham draw
Interim Burnley boss Mike Jackson knows his side have their work cut out to stay in the Premier League after yesterday's draw with West Ham. The result leaves the Clarets eight points adrift from Leeds United, who will stay clear of the bottom three even if Burnley win their game in hand.
When asked if there was a united dressing room at Burnley, Jackson told Lancs Live: "I think so definitely. You don’t play the games that dressing room has played if you are not like that as people.
"You wouldn’t stay in the game that long. They know what they need to do and the spirit that is needed and the work we have to go through to get to where we want to be. I have no worries about that side of things."

Leeds United's 1990 promotion story told by the key figures
It's 32 years next month since Leeds United would escape the second tier to win promotion to the then First Division. Howard Wilkinson’s squad featured the likes of Vinnie Jones, Gary Speed, David Batty and Gordon Strachan as they would finally go up after eight years in Division Two.
Promotion was not without drama, with a run of one win in seven in the spring, concluding with a shock home defeat to Barnsley in the third to last game of the campaign - almost condemning Howard Wilkinson’s side to the playoffs.
However, two wins in the last two games, first against Leicester City and then away to Bournemouth, saw Leeds confirm promotion and the title by virtue of goal difference ahead of Sheffield United, with the two clubs finishing level on 85 points.
Leeds United sent Premier League warning by relegation rivals
Sitting bottom of the Premier League with just 21 points from 32 games, few people if any give Norwich City any chance of staying in the top flight. The Canaries are odds on favourites to be relegated and it's easy to see why with a record that shows just five wins all season.
That figure looks even worse when factoring in Norwich are 12 points behind Leeds United, meaning they need at least four wins from their final six games if they are to catch up with Jessie Marsch's men. Ten points from the last 12 has moved Leeds into a much more comfortable position in the league table and the pressure which was mounting has now eased.
Burnley's 1-1 draw at West Ham has helped that pressure ease further, with the manager-less Clarets still five points behind Leeds if they can win their game in hand, meaning their task of staying up is looking even tougher.
