Vitor Pereira dismisses Leeds United focus amid tightening relegation fight | OneFootball

Vitor Pereira says Nottingham Forest are focused on themselves, not Leeds United or other rivals, after a 3-0 win at Tottenham lifted them into 16th, three points above the drop and one behind Leeds.

Leeds drew 0-0 with Brentford, and West Ham lost 2-0 at Aston Villa. With Wolves and Burnley as good as down, it looks set to be one from four, with West Ham and Tottenham currently looking most likely to battle it out.

"It's not about anyone else! It's about us and what we want to be as a team." He told BBC Radio Nottingham.

"It's not about Tottenham, it's not about West Ham, and it's not about Leeds. I want us to play without fear and with confidence. We want to be organised and to believe."

Leeds are winless since beating Forest 3-1 in early February and have not scored in four. Draws with Crystal Palace and Brentford have kept them from slipping close to West Ham in 18th.

Farke’s side face all of the bottom four in their final seven games. Virtually-relegated Wolves and Burnley visit Elland Road, with trips to Tottenham and West Ham also ahead.

Thirteen Leeds players are on international duty, the rest staying at Thorp Arch. They have just under two weeks before an FA Cup quarter-final at West Ham, then eight days until their Premier League return at Manchester United.
