- Javi Gracia set to leave after just a handful of games in charge

Glen Johnson on whether he believes Sam Allardyce can save Leeds United from relegation.
“He’s certainly got a track record for saving clubs from relegation and then disappearing. That’s what he’s been doing for years. God knows what he will have Leeds United doing between now and the end of the season, but they realistically only need two wins to stay up and considering how well equipped Sam is for being in a relegation battle, nobody knows how to save a club from this position better than him.”
