New Leeds manager Sam Allardyce has declared himself 'as good as' Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta as he prepares to try and steer his side away from relegation.

Allardyce will replace Javi Gracia for Leeds' final four games of the season against Manchester City, West Ham, Newcastle and Tottenham, with the Yorkshire outfit still in control of their own top-flight fate.

Leeds are 17th in the Premier League table, outside the drop zone only on goal difference and with just a one-point cushion over 19th-placed Everton, leaving them very little room for error over the next four games.
