Chris Sutton has said on BBC 606 that he wants Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United to stay up at the expense of Burnley, with both clubs in danger of suffering relegation from the Premier League.
However, the former Chelsea and Norwich City striker believes that Leeds will get relegated from the Premier League, and that Burnley will retain their top-flight status for next season.
Leeds are third from bottom in the Premier League table at the moment with 35 points from 37 matches.
Burnley are 17th with 35 points from 37 games and have a better goal difference than the West Yorkshire.
Leeds have a goal difference of -38.
Burnley’s is -18.
Leeds will take on Brentford away from home in the Premier League on Sunday.
Burnley will face Newcastle United at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.
For the Clarets to avoid relegation, all they need to do is match Leeds’s result today.
Chris Sutton on Leeds United v Burnley relegation
Sutton said on BBC 606: “I think Burnley will stay up. I would rather Leeds stay up.”
Who will get relegated?
In our opinion, Leeds United are in more danger of getting relegated than Burnley.
Burnley have a much better goal difference and are also at home for their final game of the season.
However, you just never what could happen on the final day of the campaign.
