Leeds v Leicester: match preview
As befits a stranger to indecision, Marcelo Bielsa usually decides his Leeds lineups well in advance of games but the competitiveness, and versatility, within his squad dictates a rare dilemma before Leicester’s visit. “I don’t know my team, any of 22 players could start,” said the Leeds manager. It would be more major bombshell than mere surprise were the suddenly free-scoring Patrick Bamford to be omitted – particularly in the wake of his hat-trick as Bielsa’s team prevailed 3-0 at Aston Villa.
