Presenter Richard Keys has admitted he would be 'surprised' if Jesse Marsch makes it through another week as Leeds United manager. The Whites' winless run was extended to eight matches on Sunday as they were beaten 3-2 by Fulham at Elland Road.
Leeds have now picked up just two points since their 3-0 win over Chelsea on August 21 and currently occupy a place in the Premier League's bottom three. Pressure on Marsch is continuing to mount after such a retched run of form, with supporters not afraid to voice their discontent in either of the last two matches.
That said, the board are continuing to place their faith in the American at least for the time being, with only three games now to play until the World Cup break in November. Leeds do not have it easy between now and then, though, with away matches to come against both Liverpool and Tottenham.

Writing in his latest weekly blog, Keys thinks the fact Leeds have such a tough run between now and the World Cup is the 'only thing' that is saving him. He said: "I’d be surprised if Jesse Marsch makes it through the week.
"The only thing that will save him now is a sequence of games that sees Leeds go to Anfield and Spurs - with Bournemouth in between. The owners might feel it’s better to get those games out of the way and leave the new man - whoever that is - with an easier start after the World Cup."
