Australian striker Mark Viduka insists that last week's defeat at Fulham did not signal the end of Leeds United's English premiership survival hopes.

"We're definitely not broken, but we're very disappointed," Viduka told the club website.

"We're disappointed because we could have got out of the bottom three with a win, we missed that opportunity.

"There's still a lot to play for this season, we have ten games left now and we know what we have to do.

"So now we've got to look to Man City and hope this pumps us up for that."

Viduka agrees that City, buoyed by their 4-1 derby demolition of Manchester United, will test Leeds to the limit next Monday night.

"Well keep working away and our home games will be the key - it's a cliche now, isn't it? But we need to win those home games."

But history is against Leeds.

Leeds have only 22 points and no side in the history of the premiership has survived having had such a low tally at this stage of the campaign.
