Leeds United fell to another comprehensive defeat, making it three heavy defeats within a week, shipping 14 goals in the process.
It started with a 4-2 loss to Man United last weekend, then a 6-0 defeat to Liverpool midweek and then Spurs completing the miserable period for the Whites with a 4-0 win.
Can Leeds avoid relegation?Yes!
No!

The tie with Spurs saw Matt Doherty, Dejan Kulusevski and Harry Kane take the game beyond Leeds inside the opening half an hour before Heung-Min Son added the fourth in the second period.
Sky Sports’ Richard Morgan had the following to say about the state of Leeds’ defence: “Incredible, Leeds have now let in a whopping 58 goals in the league this season, more than any other side – and that is why Marcelo Bielsa’s side are in a relegation battle – with surely more on their way this afternoon.”
That was said at 2-0 to Spurs so the record is even worse for the Whites, seeing the number rise from the 58 stated now to 60.
It’s a worrying time for Leeds who slip even more into a relegation fight with them now looking one of the favourites to be relegated. Such form has led to reports emerging that the board could make a change at Leeds, removing Marcelo Bielsa from his role.
Games in hand for those below Leeds gives them real cause for concern, they are worryingly close to the drop zone with a goal difference far inferior to those around them.
