Leeds United's next six fixtures compared to relegation rivals head of Premier League run-in

In one of the most congested relegation battles the Premier League has seen in years, Leeds United currently find themselves as one of nine teams battling it out to stay out of the bottom three come May.

Javi Gracia's arrival has put the wind back in the club's sails as they have transitioned from a run of 10 top-flight matches without victory to three wins in six under the Spaniard. Leeds will be looking to make it four from seven when they take on Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Sunday.

Having beaten Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, successive wins against two relegation rivals would be an enormous step in the right direction for the Whites. With time running out on the current season, the form generated over the next month could be the difference between needing a miracle on the last day or not - something that Leeds fans will be all too familiar with.
