Leeds boss Javi Gracia insists Tuesday’s Premier League home game against Leicester will be different after they suffered a third straight defeat against Fulham on Saturday.
Harry Wilson volleyed the opener in the 58th minute, his second goal in as many games, before Andreas Pereira added a second from close range.
Leeds went from behind eleven minutes from time when Patrick Bamford’s attempt was deflected by Joao Palhinha, but the visitors slipped a point over the drop zone ahead of their clash with relegation rivals Leicester at Elland Road.
“(It’s going to be) a different game, it’s going to be different in our stadium and obviously we think we can win, I’m sure of that,” said Gracia.
Leeds have conceded 13 goals in just three games, including heavy 5-1 and 6-1 defeats at home to Crystal Palace and Liverpool respectively, but Max Wober insists the club must look on the bright side.
“When we made mistakes in midfield and they were very quick on the break and scored two goals from their own mistakes,” the defender told the club’s official website.
“But we don’t have time to be down, Tuesday is a big game for us, six points (a six-point game) against Leicester and we have to be positive.”
Fulham manager Marco Silva believes his side are on track to break their Premier League points tally this season.
Under Roy Hodgson, the Cottagers ended the 2008/09 season with a club record 53 points, with Silva’s side currently on 45 points with seven games remaining.
“It is important that we have the goal. Me and this football club, the players, will fight to the last minute to get what we want,” he said.
“I am very happy for the players and we will fight.”
