Marcelo Bielsa facing one of biggest challenges yet at Leeds United as clear blueprint emerges

Leeds United’s recent form has taken a tumble with back-to-back 4-1 defeats at the hands of Leicester City and Crystal Palace.

The discontent has been compounded as both losses came in the same week, adding to the disgruntled murmurings. Nevertheless, Leeds can take positives from the two games, and the recent 1-0 defeat to Wolves, all of which were matches when Premier League pragmatism won out on the day.

Wolves, Palace and Leicester are established Premier League sides, and each have a distinctive way of playing. Dissecting Leicester’s setup has perhaps been the easiest task for the amateur tactical sleuth as much of their success has been based on the vibrancy and straight-line speed of Jamie Vardy and Harvey Barnes.
