Leeds boss Marsch 'calm' ahead of crunch Chelsea clash

Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch has no doubts about his players facing Chelsea tomorrow night.

Leeds need a result to ease the relegation pressure.

Marsch said, "We knew coming into these three matches it was going to be very difficult to pick up points. We still have too much to play for. Our focus is on controlling every moment. Credit to Burnley and Everton. They have also fought for their lives. We will do the same.

"I am calm. Obviously I am so focused on exactly what we are doing here. My vision wasn't 12 games. It's over years.

"The first step of my vision is staying up. I believe this club deserves it and has earned it. We have to earn it in the moment right now. Stress doesn't help. That's the situation we are in. Our ability to remove that and continue to go forward, eliminate the pressures of what it is. This is why I love our fans. I think that they get it.

"This is what pushes us. The people who are positive and behind us. We will use that tomorrow night for sure."
