Leeds United 1 Brighton 1 live: Late Pascal Struijk strike takes Whites out of drop zone
and live on Freeview channel 276
Leeds will be relegated bar a goal difference miracle if Jesse Marsch's side fail to pick up at least a point from either today's 2pm kick-off against the Seagulls or next Sunday's season finale at Brentford.
But United's destiny is already out of their own hands as third-bottom Leeds are level on points with fourth-bottom Burnley but having played a game more and with a far worse goal difference.

Fifteenth-placed Southampton are the only other team who could mathematically go down to join Watford and Norwich City who have already been consigned to the drop.
However, the Saints would need a miracle set of results considering that they are six points ahead of Leeds and also have a far better goal difference.
Burnley, Leeds and Everton are all in action today and our live blog below will keep you up to date with everything on a potentially decisive day including.

Leeds United 1 Brighton 1 recap
Key Events
- 2pm kick-off at Elland Road
- United’s last home game
- Burnley away at Spurs at noon
CHANCE LEEDS
2: OFF THE LINE - by Cooper who got in way of Gelhardt’s hooked shot. So unlucky. Hit him full in the face
Attacking set up by Leeds
5: Much better this, Raphinha actually on the right wing and very wide, Harrison wide left, Joffy upfront. Rodrigo in behind.
The back four
6: Llorente and Cooper the centre backs, Koch at right back. Firpo left back. Phillips and then Klich in front of the back four
Crucial block
7: By Phillips to cut out a Mac Allister shot from inside the box fro Brighton’s first attack
CHANCE BRIGHTON
11: Mac Allister in behind Firpo down the right, far too easy, cut back for Caicedo whose shot from the floor is held by Meslier, good chance
HUGE CHANCE BRIGHTON
13: Leeds cut open by a brilliant Trossard through ball on the turn. March just has Meslier to beat from an acute angle but pulls his shot well wide when he had more time
CHANCE LEEDS
16: Klich cross and then Harrison flick to Gelhardt just outside the box, first time shot is powerful but wide.
