Leeds vs Nottingham Forest and Burnley vs West Ham make it a huge weekend in the Premier League relegation fight - so who will stay up?

This Premier League weekend sees two relegation six-pointers at the bottom of the table.

It all starts at Friday Night Football as 16th-placed Leeds host 17th-placed Nottingham Forest - with both teams starting this weekend level on points with a six-point cushion above the bottom three.

Then on Saturday, 19th-placed Burnley host 18th-placed West Ham in a do-or-die game for the Clarets. Burnley are already 11 points off safety with 14 games to go and are five points behind the Hammers.

Nottingham Forest at home. This is no doubt the biggest game of Leeds' season - and for Daniel Farke's reign at Elland Road. Both club and manager are at a crossroads.

The German head coach has done well to quieten the early-season doubters, and has given himself hope in his bid to prove he is not just an elite Championship manager. He can be a successful Premier League one, too.

But what Farke and Leeds have insisted since the start of the season is: as long as they are on a point-per-game basis, then the club will be fine.

Leeds currently have 26 points from 24 games so they are above the point-per-game mark. But if they don't win against Forest on Friday, then it may get a little bit tense.
