Leeds boss Gracia unhappy with Prem safety question

Leeds United boss Javi Gracia has warned fans not to make assumptions about their relegation battle.

Gracia was unhappy with questions about securing Prem safety before the final game of the season.

Ahead of facing Crystal Palace today, the manager said: "Do you remember when I arrived that the team was 10 games without winning?

"And after [a new manager arrives] it happens [results improve], not only this this team, it happens at other clubs as you can see the results of other clubs in the last games.

"[We] try to put all our energy in the next game because every win is really, really important for us. And we have to make the same effort coming from a win or coming after losing the game. It's something we have to give the importance all the single games and after we have time.

"If we get it before [safety from relegation], then we will. We'll be here for a cup of wine, whatever you want! But until that moment, only [talk about the] next game please."
