Leeds United face must win game in relegation fight- as Sam Allardyce hints he could stay on
Leeds United need to beat Spurs and hope Everton and Leicester don't win
Leeds United take the hunt for Premier League survival right down to the final day, with a must-win match against Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road.
Even a win might not be enough to keep the Whites up- they'll have to hope Everton and Leicester either draw or lose their matches.
Injuries to strikers Patrick Bamford and Rodrigo in last week's 3-1 defeat at West Ham appeared to have dealt Leeds' survival hopes another blow.
But Rodrigo returned to training on Friday while Bamford has not yet been ruled out and manager Sam Allardyce said he would be prepared to take a risk with any of his injured players with so much at stake.
He also hinted he could stay on, even if Leeds are relegated.
The former England bosssaid: "That's to be decided at the end. It's always been a case of we will discuss whatever we need to discuss at the end of the season based on where we are.
"Also based on what I think the club needs to go forward and based on what the club thinks and if that's aligned with each other, then we'll wait and see.
"But that discussion, it doesn't happen in a morning or one day, it happens over a period of time and I just hope that we're talking on a very positive nature on Monday morning and I have a hangover!"
Leeds turned to Allardyce after sacking Javi Gracia with four games of the season remaining in a last-ditch bid to escape the drop.
The former Bolton, West Ham and Everton boss has collected just one point in his first three outings but said camp spirit had risen after last week's bitter disappointment when survival was taken out of Leeds' hands.
The 68-year-old, whose side have trained this week at Elland Road, added: "I've loved the mood and loved the application. We're going to live or die on Sunday in terms of the result.
"We train here (at Elland Road) for three days building up to the game. Familiarity, it's all about this arena on Sunday with obviously the fantastic atmosphere that will go with it."
