Ominous stat makes for grim reading for Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch

Leeds United have plummeted into the relegation zone after suffering a fourth league defeat on the spin against Fulham at Elland Road.

The Whites have amassed just nine points after 11 games in the Premier League this term - their fewest at this stage of a league campaign since they were last relegated from the top-flight in 2003/04 (eight).

The pressure is mounting on Jesse Marsch, while there is growing frustration towards the board following their failure to sign a left-back and an experienced striker in the summer.

Marsch's charges last tasted victory in the 3-0 triumph over Chelsea in August and have gone eight matches without a win since.

Marcelo Bielsa was dismissed after a run of four straight defeats and with Leeds sitting one-point adrift of safety in February, a position not too dissimilar to the one they find themselves in now.

Leicester City and Aston Villa's 4-0 victories over Wolves and Brentford respectively have left Leeds sitting in 18th place and swimming two points adrift of safety.

Next up is a trip to Anfield, a ground which Leeds haven't won at since 2001, and where Liverpool are unbeaten in 29 league games (W22, D7).
