Leeds United news as David O'Leary gives Whites relegation verdict ahead of 'massive' 10 days

Here are your Leeds United evening headlines on Friday, March 31.

David O'Leary highlights 'massive' 10 days amid Leeds United relegation verdict

Former Leeds United manager and Arsenal defender David O'Leary believes that the Whites' bid for Premier League survival is dependant on their results over the next 10 days.

After they face the top-of-the-league Gunners on Saturday afternoon, Javi Gracia's men will then host both Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night and Crystal Palace next weekend - two matches that could have a huge impact on the relegation battle.

Both the Reds and the Eagles are drop zone rivals to Leeds, and should they lose both games, it'd be a devastating blow to their chances of staying up.

"They’ve got Forest and Palace at home [after Arsenal]," O'Leary told talkSPORT this morning. "They’ve got two massive games, and will decide whether they will stay up."

Leeds United sent 'best in the world' warning ahead of Arsenal clash

Chris Sutton has claimed Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is the best right winger in the world, as Leeds United face the unenviable task of stifling him on Saturday.

Saka will head into the Leeds game fresh off the back of registering a goal and an assist in England's 2-0 victory over Ukraine on Sunday.

The England international has scored 12 goals and contributed 10 assists in 28 league games for the Premier League leaders this season, and Sutton believes no other right winger is above him at this moment.

Iraola was one of the early frontrunners for the Leeds job after Jesse Marsch was relieved of his duties at Elland Road. However, Rayo blocked Leeds' approach, the Whites board and had to look elsewhere for a new manager.

His name partially remained in the running but Leeds ultimately settled on Javi Gracia after a long and arduous search for Marsch's successor.
