The Premier League relegation battle is a two-way fight between Burnley and Leeds. We look at the final day permutations and what they each need to stay up.
What Leeds Need To Do To Stay Up What Burnley Need To Do To Stay Up Premier League Relegation Permutations: What Burnley And Leeds Need To Stay Up
Everton's come from behind win over Crystal Palace means the Toffees are safe, while Burnley's draw against Aston Villa gives Leeds a chance of Premier ...
Over to you @LUFC" @Kelly_burton84 tweeted: "Two horse race it is then. May be down to the last game but come on Leeds! #LeedsUnited #sundaywillmakeorbreakme"
Everton secured their safety with a 3-2 home win over Crystal Palace on Thursday night.
Bet365 make Brentford 5/4 favourites to take all three points against Leeds at the Brentford Community Stadium. Thomas Frank's side have enjoyed an excellent spell of form lately and will be a tough outfit for Marsch's side to take three points from. In terms of outright relegation odds, Bet365 make Leeds favourites to go down. The final day of the Premier League will decide Leeds United's top flight fate as Jesse Marsch's Whites travel to Brentford for match day 38.
Leeds United's bid for Premier League survival is out of their own hands heading into the Sunday's final day of the campaign.
Barnes stepped up to take the spot kick and sent Emi Martinez the wrong way to put the visitors 1-0 up at the break. The setback forced the defender out of Sunday's 1-0 loss at Tottenham Hotspur but the 29-year-old returned to the XI to replace Matt Lowton as the only change to the Clarets side.Steven Gerrard made four changes to his Villa team and opted to drop Philippe Coutinho and Danny Ings to the bench along with Marvelous Nakamba The Toffees produced an incredible comeback to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 at Goodison Park having trailed 2-0 at the interval and Frank Lampard's side are now four points clear of the drop zone.
The relegation battle will still be live on the final day of the Premier League season.
Everton can only be caught if they take a maximum of one point in their final two, whilst Leeds defeat Brentford. Mike Jackson has got Burnley united and though they’ve lost games recently do I think they can get a point out of Villa and/or Newcastle? Yes." If Burnley lose against Villa on Thursday night, Leeds will go to Brentford in control of their own fate.
Leeds United are set to hand Jesse Marsch a major transfer war chest this summer, according to the Daily Mail ahead of the final weekend.
Either way, it looks as though we will have a big budget to play for this summer – we’re confident that it will be with us still in the Premier League. If that happens at Villa Park, we have to be classed as favourites to stay up, but if we travel to Brentford needing a win, that is when it could become a struggle with so much on the line. It is shared that the expectation would be that Marsch would take Leeds immediately back to the Premier League on the first time of asking.
Leeds United's bid for Premier League survival is out of their own hands heading into the final day of the campaign.
But United’s far inferior goal difference means that the Whites will be consigned to the drop if Burnley beat Newcastle United at Turf Moor, regardless of how Leeds fare at Brentford. The battle to avoid finishing in the division’s final relegation place and joining Watford and Norwich City in being relegated is now a two-horse race between Leeds and Burnley heading into Sunday’s final day. The Toffees produced an incredible comeback to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 at Goodison Park having trailed 2-0 at the interval and Frank Lampard’s side are now four points clear of the drop zone.

The 20-year-old is seen as a player with great potential but his current deal at Leeds expires in the summer of 2023. Bogusz has so far made three senior appearances for Leeds but has not featured for them in the Premier League. However, despite an impressive first half of the season in Spain, Bogusz saw his campaign end prematurely as he suffered an anterior cruciate injury.

Andrea Radrizzani is a good businessman and he will have the best interest of the club in his mind, but relegation would be a major blow to his legacy at Elland Road. Of course, it is good to see the financial side of the club protected should the worst happen this weekend. Leeds United are set to make no redundancies if they are relegated from the Premier League this weekend, according to the Daily Mail.

That may change if they are relegated on Sunday, however it is likely new faces will be needed at youth level as more and more continue to flood the first team. Wagner is out of contract in December but Philadelphia do have the option to extend his deal by another year. Newcastle United reportedly have Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford on their list of attacking targets this summer.
Leeds will face off against ex-Whites defender Jansson, now at Brentford, on their final match day of the Premier League season this weekend.
Hopefully it's going to be a good fairytale." Brentford have already secured their place in the Premier League next season, having pulled off a number of impressive results during their debut top flight campaign. Ex-Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson has revealed it would be "a sad day" if his Brentford side prevented the Whites from securing their Premier League survival when the two teams face-off this weekend.
Michael Owen believes Burnley have a slight edge over Leeds United in the battle to avoid relegation. Leeds currently sit one point ahead of the Clarets, ...
"That was the only thing and in hindsight, maybe I shouldn’t say that. “That leaves us, realistically with Burnley (and Leeds), they have to go to Aston Villa. That’s not an easy one. Leeds players were then filmed singing 'mind the gap, Thomas Frank' during their title celebrations. Then, both of them (Burnley and Leeds) have got winnable games last game of the season. They have had a nice little run of things recently. He said: “Everton definitely have the advantage.
It's Aston Villa versus Burnley on Thursday night and, further north, Everton versus Crystal Palace. Leeds can't be relegated there and then but like Begbie ...
There’s a bit of #UTV (Up The Villa) which everyone has learned in the past 24 hours and straw-clutching is in full flow. “Have I ever felt this sick on a day #lufc haven’t been playing,” asks Rev. A Mol (@RevAMol) and the answer to that is most likely yes. “Fair play to Buendia, didn’t get his head down when he wasn’t penalised first challenge,” says It’s Would Have, Not Would Of (@MuzzyHillbilly), a tweet that has the advantage of being printable. Then Buendia equalises and even MrPaulRobinson (@MrPaulRobinson) is being complimentary about him “despite spending the last 15 minutes sticking pins in his voodoo doll”. We’re all too pure to pick up illegal streams of the Everton-Palace so it’s Burnley on the laptop. And use the ransom money to buy a centre-forward. It was 2020 and an entire fanbase watched Huddersfield Town beat West Bromwich Albion on the telly, with no team on the pitch but every cell of skin in the game. For Leeds, in 17th place, the permutations are kind of complex, kind of simple. — chained to a door in a Villa shirt and a gimp mask. “All this Villa love is going to turn into hate in a few hours,” he says. The rest will do that thing where they try hard to limit themselves to sporadic updates on a mobile. So bang on the dot, in fact, that it’s almost as if the tweet was scheduled.
The Sporting News explains how parachute payments work for clubs relegated from the Premier League.
That proved to be good news for existing Premier League clubs when Norwich and Watford were promoted during the 2020/21 season. Thankfully for them, a dramatic comeback win over Crystal Palace on May 19 ensured they will be playing Premier League football next season. The solidarity cash is aimed at remedying competitive imbalances caused by parachute payments. Each club receives 55 percent of the amount that each Premier League team would collect under an equal share of broadcast revenue, reduced to 45 percent in the second year and 20 percent the year after that. Banks are more likely to be receptive to Premier League clubs in terms of financing, and the shock of relegation has contributed to crises at the likes of Portsmouth and Bolton. The troubled Latics became the first team to have been in the modern Premier League to fall into non-league when they were relegated from the bottom division in England, League Two, in April.
Beren Cross answered all your Leeds United questions in his latest Q&A - here's the full transcript.
A sale or even a new contract may be possible given the dearth of left-back options at Elland Road. Casilla has another year on his Leeds deal, but he has already said he never expects to play for Leeds again after moving to Elche. A sale or loan is highly likely for the goalkeeper. By January it was clear this season was not going the way anyone hoped and if they had been the slightest doubt about his future, they should have removed him with enough time to act in the January window. Firpo may not want to give up after one year in Leeds. Unless the club push him out, I think he would stick around. The Spanish return rumours have never really gone away and I would not be surprised if he went back in the summer. BC: Davis has one year on his contract remaining, but was expected to stay with Bournemouth after his loan. I know Bielsa was great for us, but i wonder if there was feeling from anyone in club that he went one season to many. After finishing ninth in the first season back at that level, nobody could have predicted it would blow up the way it has. Leeds travel to in-form Brentford on Sunday, knowing that they will almost certainly have to pick up a positive result on the road. However, he told us in press conferences he would never say to additions which improved his team. BC: Without knowing the small print of their agreement with Radrizzani, my assumption would be they are far more cautious about putting any more money into a Championship club than they need to. Having cancelled the most recent plans for Fullerton Park, the world is the club's oyster when it comes to that land. In relation to ground expansion, is this dependent on Premier League status?
Leeds United can expect no favours from Brentford when they visit West London to fight for their Premier League status on Sunday, according to Bees boss ...
There has been a lot to celebrate and now they need to cheer us on for the last time this season. In many ways it has been a remarkable season for us. We will come with everything.
The Whites are currently outside the Premier League relegation zone by a single point with one game left, while both drop rivals Everton and Burnley also play ...
At this point however, everyone connected to the club would happily accept the record fee remain as it is if it means they stay in the top flight. Leeds United forward Rodrigo’s club-record move from Valencia will end up costing the club less if they are relegated, according to SuperDeporte. Leeds United record signing Rodrigo will cost the club less if they are relegated
Ashley Barnes scored from the spot late in the first half after Emi Buendia felled Maxwel Cornet but Buendia then equalised early in the second to earn the ...
Should Leeds win and Burnley fail to, or Leeds draw and Burnley lose, then the Clarets will be relegated. The Clarets need to match Leeds' result at Brentford to stay up meaning a draw will be enough if Jesse Marsch's side don't win while Burnley will stay up with a defeat if Leeds also lose. Nick Pope made several important saves while Wout Weghorst missed a late chance to win it for Burnley as the battle for survival goes to Sunday.
Here, we round up all the main Whites headlines in one place through our Friday morning round-up ahead of Sunday's season finale at Brentford.
The critical ambition which will sway Kalvin Phillips' Leeds United decision, according to a former Premier League star Leeds United's final day hosts Brentford will be without a key defender for Sunday's showdown against the relegation-battling Whites. Leeds United's bid for Premier League survival is out of their own hands heading into Sunday's final day of the campaign.
When Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed the ball into the net, Everton fans were ready to start celebrating their team's Premier League status being preserved.
While Burnley plays Newcastle on Sunday, Jesse Marsch's Leeds is at Brentford trying to avoid joining Norwich and Watford in dropping into the second division. In an ideal situation we wouldn’t be in the position we were but then it produces moments like that and you can go from low to high so quick. Pickford’s one-handed save from Mateta kept Everton in the game. In the mayhem, Palace manager Patrick Vieira looked to be goaded by an Everton fan before he kicked out. Everton was enraged that Jordan Ayew was only booked for a scissor tackle on Anthony Gordon before he scored Palace's second. Everton’s 5-2-3 formation meant it was being totally outnumbered in midfield.
Burnley boss Mike Jackson has refuted claims of "mission accomplished" for Leeds United's relegation rivals Burnley.
"But it's just about us now and resting up and making sure that we are prepared to go for Sunday." "We can't hide that it's in our hands but we know there's still 90-plus minutes of hard work and emotion and everything that has got to go through on that day. "They've had to really dig in, they've had to work, the work they've had to put in there was terrific so we are going to need that again on Sunday.
The last relegation spot will be filled by either Leeds United or Burnley heading into final day of the Premier League season.
While there's every chance Brentford and Newcastle could be 'on the beach' both sides do still have something to play for, meaning Burnley and Leeds will both be in for a challenging Sunday in their final games of the Premier League season. The Bees have picked up a whopping 22 points from a possible 30 since March and will be looking to finish off their debut Premier League campaign in style in front of their home fans. However, they do have a vastly worse goal difference, meaning that even a win for Leeds on the final day against Brentford away could still see Jesse Marsch's side relegated if Burnley beat Newcastle at Turf Moor.
Leeds United versus Brentford is one of just three games Sky Sports will broadcast on the final day of the Premier League season this Sunday.
Burnley have a superior goal difference of plus-20 to Leeds, meaning that a win for the Clarets over Newcastle will see them safe. A draw could keep them up should Burnley lose to Newcastle, but three points would be far more preferable than just one. Leeds United's clash against Brentford will be one of three televised games on Sky Sports for their final day of the season Premier League coverage this Sunday. The Whites travel to the Brentford Community Stadium knowing that a win might not be enough to keep them in the Premier League after Burnley leapfrogged Jesse Marsch's side into 17th place courtesy of a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
Craig Pawson will be the man in the middle for Burnley's crunch final day clash with Newcastle United on Sunday. The referee has overseen three Clarets ...
Don't miss a thing from the club you love! The referee has overseen three Clarets matches this season including the 2-1 away win at Watford last month when he initially awarded Burnley a penalty before changing his decision on the advice of VAR as the foul took place outside the box. He was also in charge for the reverse fixture with the Hornets at Turf Moor - a 0-0 draw - and the 2-0 home loss to Man City in April.
GIVEN the epic history of Yorkshire clubs – for better and worse – on the final day of seasons, then Leeds United supporters better strap themselves in and ...
On the previous two weekends to those events in Watford, there were enough twists and turns to keep a Hollywood scriptwriter busy. The rest is history. As an encore at Brentford, there was a crazy evening on the final night of the Championship season in 2019-20, which ended in Barnsley producing one of the greatest ‘Great Escapes’ from relegation of all time. And what about poor Scarborough in 1999 when the Seasiders were relegated at the death following the heroics of Carlisle keeper Jimmy Glass, who will never have to dip his hand into his pocket whenever he walks into a bar in the Cumbrian city after his last-gasp goal against Plymouth. The sight of the Reds’ keeper and captain Luke Steele, a son of Peterborough, with the ball at his feet in open play for two minutes at the end with home and away players urging him to keep it – after news of events at Selhurst Park filtered back to Yorkshire – was utterly bizarre. The substitute entered into Rovers folklore after taking a penalty that Bees captain Kevin O’Connor was supposed to take after the hosts were awarded a spot-kick in front of their expectant fans in the Ealing Road end in the fourth minute of stoppage-time and looked set to pip the visitors to automatic promotion.
Brentford's final match of the 2021/22 Premier League season will be shown live by Sky Sports. The Bees will face Leeds United on Sunday, 22 May.
The teams last met in the 2019/20 season, which was interrupted and extended by the Covid-19 outbreak. Patrick Bamford equalised in stoppage time for the hosts but injured himself celebrating and has only played 100 minutes for Leeds in six-and-a-half months since. Leeds come to West London without a win in five matches. Leeds had taken 11 points from five matches before three straight defeats to Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea in an 11-day spell. The game between the teams in Yorkshire earlier this season ended in a 2-2 draw. Brentford will be looking to end their first Premier League season with a top half finish.
Leeds and Burnley are the two sides fighting for survival heading into the final day of the campaign.
Burnley meanwhile are seeking their sixth successive campaign in the Premier League. Leeds United are now back in the bottom three, with both sides on 35 points. Ashley Barnes put Burnley ahead in the first half from the penalty spot.
Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch wants his side to fly out of the traps at Brentford in their vital Premier League relegation clash on Sunday to pile the ...
I've been in these situations before, if it's the last day you need to know a bit of what's going on in the other matches. We can learn a lot from how the other players can handle the pressure differently. It means the Whites must better Burnley's result against Newcastle and Marsch wants to take the occasion in the capital.
The 30-year-old first suffered discomfort back in September, in the 1-1 Premier League draw with Newcastle United at St James' Park. At the time, after ...
Everyone at the club wishes Luke a speedy recovery. Leeds United full-back Luke Ayling yesterday underwent knee surgery to address a long-standing issue. Luke Ayling undergoes surgery
Leeds United are hopeful of having Patrick Bamford available for Sunday's final Premier League match of the season.
Asked what decisions were still to be made on Bamford, Marsch said: "More than anything it's that we're not risking him at any level," he said. "Luke Ayling had successful surgery yesterday so we're hopeful it's been two and four months on a knee injury he had to get sorted out so we decided to take this time," said Marsch. "He had a day off today inside to recuperate but we're hopeful we can make the decision in the next few days that we can make him available for minutes on Sunday."
Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch expects to keep his job even if his team lose their Premier League status this weekend.
The club is committed to me. The connections we have made meshes well together. Marsch will take charge of his 12 game as Leeds manager on Sunday when they travel to Brentford on the final day of the season.

“It would be easier if we knew we were locked in the Premier League but there is one match to focus on. (We need) to do whatever we can to get the points.” (It is) better when we control our fate, but that’s not the case. I knew we’d have to fight for everything. I never came here to think it would be easy. Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch: “We’re excited for this challenge - we know we have to be at our best.

An Everton spokesman said: "We have worked closely with the Premier League to make sure we are compliant. Clubs have been allowed to write off losses caused by the pandemic; in their latest accounts Everton said £170m of their losses were caused by the pandemic. Premier League rules allow clubs to lose a maximum of £105m over three years; clubs have been allowed to write off losses caused by the pandemic; in their latest accounts Everton said £170m of their losses were caused by the pandemic
One of Leeds United or Burnley will be relegated from the Premier League this weekend in a do-or-die final day yet they have joined forces with a letter ...
An Everton spokesman told The Times: “We have worked so closely with the Premier League to make sure we are compliant we are comfortable we have complied with the rules. Leeds have declined to comment, but LeedsLive understands, at this point, there remains nothing more than a letter outlining these concerns and asking what the division has done about the losses incurred. Questions have been asked of the Premier League by Leeds United about their handling of Everton’s £371.8m losses across the last three years.
Weekly column. In his latest column for leedsunited.com, lifelong supporter Jon Howe reflects on the late equaliser against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.
Everyone has given everything, there will be nothing left, but at the moment we don’t know if that will be enough, and whether we will feel a dull bludgeon of pain or a heady shower of elation. What we know for certain is that, at the end of it all, and by 6pm on Sunday, there will be nothing in between. Finally, Leeds were able to keep 11 men on the pitch versus Brighton, and the fundamental benefits that numerical parity subsequently affords you in a game of football were clearly evident. Essentially, Struijk’s goal will either be quickly filed as a futile and meaningless statistic in our rollercoaster 103-year history, or it could be the golden ticket to an extended Premier League existence and trigger the next stage of transformational change at our football club. Leeds United’s season can be summed up for me by the scene in the film ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ where the character called ‘Dog’ barks at his hapless colleagues “can everyone stop getting shot?” In fairness, there is probably a scene from every film genre going that neatly characterises the haunted anxiety of this campaign, but this one succinctly captures the absurdity of trying to bring order to chaos when you have absolutely no control over it. The possibilities with the metaverse are almost endless, and I wonder if at some point we’ll be able to see critical moments of our lives being recreated, and be able to share them with digital versions of ourselves and our friends and family.
Leeds United and Burnley have written to the Premier League to ask if Everton's £371.8m worth of losses have breached financial regulations and if any ...
“External auditors have told us what we can and cannot claim against the pandemic. On Sunday the Whites travel to Brentford and Burnley host Newcastle, as their 2022/23 fates are decided. If they believe they maybe would have been able to sell Cenk Tosun for £60m in a non-Covid environment that's their call.
Burnley and relegation rivals Leeds United have written to the Premier League outlining concerns about Everton breaching financial rules.
An Everton spokesman, quoted in the Athletic, said: “We have worked so closely with the Premier League to make sure we are compliant and we are comfortable we have complied with the rules. The Athletic report that there are no active legal proceedings although that route is possible and that no timescale has been given on whether any sanctions will be imposed. Burnley have the superior goal difference and will stay up if they better the Whites' result at Brentford. Everton confirmed their safety in midweek when they came from two down to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 at Goodison Park.
A look at how an unlikely rivalry has developed between Brentford and Leeds in recent seasons.
With both sides were vying for automatic promotion, Leeds had hit a wall in their season and entered the game at Griffin Park in terrible form. That was also the first time Thomas Frank had taken charge of a match with Leeds following his appointment earlier in the season. Striker Ollie Watkins won a penalty for the Bees in which replays showed there was minimal, if any contact at all. That means Leeds head to west London needing a result against a side that an unlikely rivalry has been built in recent seasons. The first game which ignited the flame came back in February 2018, when neither side had any real aspirations of achieving promotion. Leeds United head to Brentford this weekend in a season finale that will decide their Premier League fate.
The Premier League relegation battle will come down to the final day of the season with one of Leeds United or Burnley set to play in the Championship next ...
They are playing for survival, so I expect them to show enough fight and get a positive result. Their highest-ever position is fifth in the old First Division, in 1936, and they could still make ninth this year. And two legendary former players are predicting different outcomes for the final day of the season.
Commentator Sam Matterface believes Leeds United will fall to a damaging defeat against Brentford on Sunday and face Premier League relegation.
For Leeds, Marsch will need to come up with a meticulous plan to keep Leeds competitive for as long as possible and try and steal a goal. The Elland Road faithful will be hopeful of a positive result, but when taking into account Brentford’s recent form and how Leeds have struggled of late there will need to be a huge shift in performance for the Whites to pick up a result. Commentator Sam Matterface believes Leeds United will fall to a damaging defeat against Brentford on Sunday [22 May].
Former Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson will go up against the Whites as a Brentford player this weekend.
Of course, I’d prefer that they were already safe, but we want to win this game and finish as high as possible.” I want to win no matter what. I still have many friends there.
Leeds will need Newcastle United to do them a favour on Sunday if they are to have any chance of staying in the Premier League.
I went back to Bournemouth as a much better manager." “We will pick our strongest team and try to win the game," Howe promised at his Friday morning press conference. We know from previous experience that we need to be mentally right.”
When a relegation battle goes to the final day of the season, as the Premier League's will for Leeds United, things have a habit of getting complicated.
Such is the mess they have made of an injury-disrupted season up to now, even that may not be enough. “I would hate to see some of the guys go because I think I’ve made a real connection and I think there’s big potential.” “I try to not be a result-based manager, I try to be based on the process, but I’ve had 12 matches where that’s been really tough to manage and certainly this one will be the toughest. Leeds estimated their losses at £23m, but Everton reckoned it cost them £170m, citing the decreasing value of players they say they would have sold. The loophole they are confident they have got through is the decision to allow clubs Covid-19 leeway. The angry anti-board chants minutes before Leeds turned impending defeat at Brighton and Hove Albion into a draw were a taste of what is to come if things go awry.
Passion, emotion and determination are guaranteed when Leeds United's players walk out at the Brentford Community Stadium tomorrow, but striking the right ...
“It’s better when we fully control it but that’s not the case. “More than anything (we have to be sure) we’re not risking him at any level. And our fanbase has been amazing throughout the process.” That’s a challenge (to strike the right balance) right now. If anything, they have taken coach Jesse Marsch’s constant instructions to be “aggressive” too far. “He didn’t come to give a talk, he just was here and he’s such a wonderful man,” explains Marsch. “He has a lot of wisdom and he’s been very generous to me so I like speaking with him.”
