Michael Owen believes if Leeds United can collect four points from their fixtures against Leicester City and Bournemouth then they will stay in the Premier League.
Leeds have seen nine goals wiped off their goal difference over the last two games after losing 5-1 and 6-1 against Crystal Palace and Liverpool respectively.
The Whites now have the worst defensive record in the Premier League (60 goals conceded) this season, and sit just two points clear of danger with seven games remaining.

Javi Gracia's men travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham in their next outing, before taking on fellow relegation rivals Leicester City and Bournemouth respectively. And Owen is confident that positive results in both games will provide them with a platform to survive relegation.
“They have Fulham next but after that, Leicester and Bournemouth, they’re massive games. If they can get four points from those two then they will stay in the Premier League," Owen told Premier League Productions.
Leeds face reigning champions Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur in their last four games, and travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham United in their penultimate game.
