Leeds United climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone on Wednesday thanks to a massive 3-1 win at home to Chelsea. Goals from Jaka Bijol, Ao Tanaka and Dominic Calvert-Lewin ensured a brilliant team performance was rewarded with three crucial points on a great night at Elland Road.
Victory has pulled Leeds three points clear of West Ham, who have a game in hand against Manchester United on Thursday. The Whites now have a four-point gap on Burnley in 19th, are 12 points clear of rock-bottom Wolves and remain just one point behind 16th-placed Nottingham Forest.
Daniel Farke’s side don’t have long to celebrate Wednesday’s win, however, with big games coming thick and fast heading into the festive chaos. Below, the YEP takes a look at how the next few weeks will pan out for Leeds and their Premier League rivals.
