Had a rather troubling Wednesday, but immediately evened it out by the hammering of Tottenham over Arsenal 3-0. The Premier League season is sadly coming to an end, but matches matter more than ever now… especially for those at the bottom of the table….

Leeds comes into this match-up with Brighton sitting top of the bottom three relegation positions on the table; with 34 points. It is a close race to the finish between Everton (36 pts), Burnley(34 pts), and Leeds (34 pts) to see which club will round out the bottom 3 of relegation. With just two matches left for Leeds and three for both Burnley and Everton, the time to win is now. If they have any hope of getting out of the bottom three and surpassing Burnley let alone Everton, they HAVE to win.
So here we are a must win situation at home against a team that has been red hot in Brighton, winning their last 2 in convincing fashion by tallying 7 combined goals. Things not as great for Leeds, losing their last 3; but no surprise as they had an absolute gauntlet to get through in Man City, Arsenal, and Chelsea. The line on the match is a red flag for me, Brighton at +160 in a spot where I figured they would be much bigger favorites, even with respect to being on the road. Leeds has so much more to play for in this match unlike Brighton who sits middle of the road on the table. Knowing that Burnley has a very realistic chance of losing out, if they could snag a victory here it could set them up to sneak through to remain in the coveted: Premier League for another season.
