He says his fingers are crossed
Leeds United head coach Sam Allardyce admits his side need favours if they are to take a Premier League survival mission to the final day for a second year in a row.
The Whites have just two matches remaining: West Ham away next Sunday and Spurs at home on the last day.They are a point from safety but that could be increased to two if Leicester overcome Liverpool on Monday night."All I've said is that when we play Tottenham I hope there's something in it for us. We have to keep our fingers crossed a little bit today or tomorrow that the others don't win.
Fellow relegation battlers Nottingham Forest secured a point against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon to restore their three-point lead over Leeds, while Sunday saw Everton go down 3-0 at home to Manchester City. Leicester City, who sit a point and a place behind Allardyce's side, host Liverpool tonight.
