Slaven Bilic issues upbeat West Brom message as Leeds United are handed chance to move clear in top spot
and live on Freeview channel 276
After third-placed Brentford had closed the gap to second-placed West Brom to two points with Saturday lunch-time's 3-1 win at Derby County, Bilic's side then had to settle for a point in Saturday afternoon's 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers.
The Baggies now sit only three points above the third-placed Bees and level on points with front-runners Leeds United who could boot three points clear with three games left if recording a victory in Sunday lunch-time's clash at Swansea City.
“It doesn’t make it easier of course,” said Bilic.
“But we were in a position - and we still are - where we only have to focus on our game.
“We have to concentrate on our game.
"That is what I have told the guys - stay positive."
