Leeds United manager Daniel Farke, Troy Deeney in a circular insert.
Leeds United are preparing to take on Birmingham City in the fourth round of the FA Cup at St. Andrew’s later today. However, their primary focus remains on survival.
The Whites came back from two goals down to earn a point against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last week and sit 15th in the table, six points clear of the relegation zone.

Leeds have looked resilient and hard to beat, and at Stamford Bridge, they showed that they have found a way to get results away from home in the Premier League.
However, Troy Deeney is still not convinced about Leeds and insists that he remains worried that the Whites could be battling to survive at the end of the season.
‘I worry for Leeds’ – Troy Deeney
Leeds have a healthy lead over teams in the relegation zone and are not resembling a team that could go down to the Championship at the end of the season.
Deeney conceded that Leeds have picked up some good results over the last week or so. However, he is still worried about what could happen at the end of the campaign.
The former Watford captain insisted that they remain one of the likely teams to go down to the Championship at the end of the season despite their current form and position in the league table.
Deeney wrote in his column for The Sun: “Leeds are picking up some great results, with their point at Chelsea following a win over Forest, but I still worry about them.
“I think they are the most likely to go back down to the Championship.”
Deeney seems to have concluded, regardless of the results
West Ham’s recent run of form has reignited hopes of them getting out of the relegation zone by the end of the season. However, they are still in the bottom three.
Nottingham Forest have sacked their third manager of the season and are set to appoint a fourth manager for the campaign. That level of instability often results in relegation.

Leeds look the most stable club in the bottom six at the moment and have continued to pick up results, which has kept them at arm’s length from the relegation zone.
Deeney predicted Leeds to go down at the start of the season, like most pundits, and is refusing to allow reality to cloud his judgment at the moment.
It is hard to say Leeds look like the most likely team to go down when West Ham, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest are in such turmoil at this stage of the season.
