'I'm confident that's enough points', says Rix

Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix is "confident" Leeds United already have enough points to retain their place in the Premier League with five games still to go.

Daniel Farke's side beat bottom-of-the-table Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 to put themselves on 39 points and eight clear of 18th-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

Speaking on the Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast, Rix said: "I think from the beginning, from when it started to look like we'd need more points than [the teams that got relegated] last year, I've always thought that it still wouldn't be 40 points-plus [to go down] because if the 17th or 18th-placed teams got 40 points then it would be mad.

"I'm kind of confident that's enough points. I agree Leeds will get more points to come. I think Spurs can still get up to 46 points, so I guess 46 points could be the number, which is very unlikely.

"The thing is with Spurs is they could've won that game on Saturday. They could win three or four of their remaining games. Let's say they're going to beat Wolves, they could beat us. That's two wins and then they have to win one of their other ones and they're up with us. For them to catch Leeds, you're asking them to put up Champions League qualifying form, which they haven't done this season.

"Also, Nottingham Forest's fixtures are Sunderland away, then in Europe, then they've got away, Villa in Europe again, at home and away, and at home, you could see them not winning any of those games. They could win some of them. There's no easy fixtures in that lot."
