Leeds boss Javi Gracia insists every game is now 'massive' for his side in their bid to avoid relegation... and admits loving the club's anthem Marching On Together as it inspires his side to 'play better'

Javi Gracia believes the Elland Road crowd could be ‘crucial’ to Leeds United’s survival hopes as his side embark on a run of three straight home games that could define their season.

The Whites are only out of the bottom three on goal difference following their 4-1 hammering at league leaders Arsenal on Saturday.

But Gracia is hoping Leeds can take a giant stride to safety over the next fortnight when they entertain relegation rivals Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, as well as out-of-sorts Liverpool.

‘Now we are starting the most important part of the season,’ said the Leeds boss ahead of the visit of Forest on Tuesday night.
