Former Leeds United assistant Gus Poyet says it would be a disaster if the club were to get relegated.
The Whites are currently on 22 points from 25 league matches and in the thick of the relegation battle.
Poyet, who was assistant manager at one time at Elland Road, believes they should aim for 34 to 35 points to stay up under new boss Javi Gracia.
I think it's going to go down to the last few games of the season," the Greece boss told Neue Casinos 24.
I think it is going to be tremendous, the relegation battle is going to be immense."
"Not only because of the quantity of teams who are going to be involved, but because of the quality of the teams and how big they are. Leeds, Everton and Co. are big teams and if they go down it could be a disaster.
Especially for Leeds, after so many years trying to come back up to the Premier League and then a few years later if they go down."
He added: It is going to be very close and that's why I think it is important for Leeds to somehow keep adding points, any points you can get are important.
This is because at the end of the day you need to get to, we used to say 40 points and then we said 38, but now I think if you get to 34 or 35 points then you are safe. So yes I think it is going to go to the wire."
