Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa insists they’re not yet safe from the drop.
Bielsa believes Premier League safety is not yet confirmed despite his Leeds side ending their miserable run in London with a 2-1 win at Fulham.
Bielsa had not led his team to victory in the capital in 15 attempts, with all five previous visits this season ending in defeat.

But goals from Patrick Bamford and Raphinha secured victory at Craven Cottage on Friday and moved Leeds 13 points clear of their 18th-placed opponents in the table.
But Bielsa said: “These are speculations that will confirm themselves mathematically. And with 27 points left to play the safety is not confirmed.”
When asked if the side had improved since their thrilling 4-3 win over Fulham in September, the Leeds boss said: “I think our team has improved in a lot of aspects, they’ve improved in the way they compete, and how we manage different parts of the game, and when you come up against teams with hierarchy this always improves the quality of the players.”
