Leeds know their Premier League survival is now out of their hands ahead of the final game of the season this weekend.

Sam Allardyce's men squandered the chance to control their relegation future following a 3-1 defeat to West Ham last time out.

Leeds went into the penultimate fixture knowing victory would mean they wouldn't need to rely on results elsewhere on Sunday to stay up.

And they had given themselves the perfect platform with Rodrigo's early goal but were then pegged back and ultimately lost 3-1.

Leicester's 0-0 draw with Newcastle saw them plunge even further down in the bottom three with a miracle needed against Tottenham.

What do Leeds need to stay in the Premier League?

Leeds know a victory over Spurs at Elland Road is an absolute must if they want to avoid relegation but that might not be enough.

In addition to getting three points, the Whites need to rely on Everton losing to Bournemouth and Leicester not winning against West Ham.

Should the Toffees draw, then Leeds could still survive but only with a three-goal swing - in that scenario, they'd both be on 34 points with the same goal difference but Leeds would be ahead on goals scored.

However, any Leicester victory over West Ham would surely condemn them, with the Foxes also getting to 34 points but with better goal difference by nine.

IBF bantamweight world champion Ebanie Bridges is so desperate for Leeds to stay in the Premier League that she's providing some personal motivation.

Speaking to talkSPORT, she joked: "Hey guys, if you stay up I'll flash my boobs.

"I'll get in that locker room, pull my shirt up and flash my boobs or something like that.

"I'll kiss you, anything. Whatever, I'll give you a free subscription to my OnlyFans.

"Please Leeds stay up, don't f***ing disappoint me."

Bridges has earned the approval of the Leeds fans since relocating there from Australia
