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.

And again. CHANCE BRIGHTON
19: Gross played in down the right, good chance in the box, firm low shot saved by Meslier
Fury at that goal
22: Leeds were in with a great chance to go ahead but Rodrigo took an age to play in Harrison and was intercepted. Brighton immediatly countered but Welbeck still had plenty to do. But he managed to completely shrug off Llorente before converting past Meslier. Terrible from Rodrigo and then Llorente. Moans and groans and all Brighton now.
CHANCE BRIGHTON
33: Looping header from March from a Trossard cross from the left this time just over, Trossard got in down the left via a simple long ball behind Llorente
HUGE CHANCE BRIGHTON
37: Trossard in one one one after another long ball, so so easy. Through the middle. Koch gets a crucial foot in and Mac Allister then skews a shot wide
