Pressure is mounting on Simon Grayson and his team as several teams are closing in rapidly on United's envied 6th place. With QPR a shoe in for the title there are 4 teams; Cardiff, Norwich, Reading and Swansea all realistically fighting for that 2nd automatic promotion spot to the top flight. The second battle is for that much desired 4th play-off place that Leeds currently occupy. Nottingham Forest, Hull, Millwall and Burnley are the sides with a chance of crashing the Yorkshire sides party.
Leeds are without a win in 3 league matches losing to Millwall and Derby on the road before drawing to Watford at Elland Road on Saturday. They face a Reading side on Friday that have won 8 games on the bounce in the league which explains there sudden surge into automatic promotion contention. Anything other than victory on Friday night could result in falling out of the Play-off spot for the first time since the beginning of December.
The Elland Road faithful will be on edge as the season nears its climax. Grayson's men have a tough run in and need to put everything on the line if they want to get back to the cherished land of the Premier League. Every game has to turn into a cup final for the Whites now. Friday is now the focus has 3 points is more important than ever. Grayson has been tinkering with his starting eleven of late, let's hope he comes up with the right formula come Friday night.
