Leeds United host Leicester City in a huge Premier League relegation six-pointer on Tuesday night

Leeds United face a huge fixture in their Premier League relegation battle as they welcome Leicester City to Elland Road on Tuesday night.

The Whites have lost their last three games to sit just one point above the bottom three, as Leicester beat Wolves last weekend while Everton drew at Crystal Palace.

Leeds face the Foxes on Tuesday before a trip to Bournemouth this weekend in what looks set to be a decisive week in their bid to retain their top-flight status.

However, head coach Javi Gracia has insisted every game is important from now until the end of the season.

He said: “All the games are important and for me the next game is the most important, it is the moment I am living and I put my life there. I put everything in this game in this challenge.

“In these next games, six games is my life and we are all concentrating on that. What I lived in my past was important in that moment and good memories for me but now the present is important.”

As Leeds prepare to take on Leicester, we looked at the run-ins for the Premier League’s bottom nine and worked out the average position of all the teams they will face to see who is facing the toughest task in a bid to beat the drop.
