Javi Gracia and Leeds United may have missed the opportunity to pull away from the bottom three with a draw against Leicester City in midweek but have been handed another golden ticket ahead of tomorrow's clash with Bournemouth. The Whites sit just a point outside of the relegation zone, with the draw against the Foxes keeping the gap to the bottom two the same.
Leeds travel to fellow strugglers Bournemouth, looking to move three clear of Nottingham Forest who were beaten 2-1 by , Brentford. Thomas Frank's side had to come from behind to beat Steve Cooper's side, with Danilo's first-half striker giving the Tricky Trees the lead at the interval.
A win for Forest would have seen them move above the Whites, but fortunately goals from Ivan Toney and an injury time winner from Josh Da Silva gives Leeds a huge opportunity. Cooper's side also went down to ten men, with Danilo taken off injured, having used all their substitutes.
