It’s been a terrific start to the season for Leeds United, who under Marcelo Bielsa are going from strength to strength in the Sky Bet Championship.  

On Saturday against Rotherham, Bielsa’s side struggled to find their rhythm early on, with their breakthrough eventually coming in the second-half, as goals from Luke Ayling and Kemar Roofe secured a 2-0 victory.

That maintained Leeds’ 100% start to the season, with the Whites now the only side in the Championship to win three games from their opening three fixtures.

Attention will quickly turn to Tuesday evening, with Leeds heading to Wales to face Swansea City.

The Swans will offer Leeds a stern test, with Bielsa facing a selection headache as he decides on the starting XI he should field at the Liberty Stadium, having named an unchanged line up so far in the league.

Here at FLW, we take a look at the XI we believe Bielsa should be fielding…

Peacock-Farrell made some superb saves on Saturday, fully justifying the faith Bielsa has placed in him this season.

Ayling is so consistent on the right, with his place in the side not under any threat.

Pontus Jansson will be breathing down Berardi’s neck, but the Swiss defender put in an assured performance on Saturday.

Like Berardi, Cooper looks comfortable enough at this stage, keeping Jansson on the sidelines.

Douglas looks like a superb addition to Leeds’ squad, with the ex-Wolves full-back bringing superb balance to Leeds’ defence.

Phillips is key to Leeds’ style, and again on Saturday, he showed his worth to Bielsa.

Leeds need to manage Hernandez carefully this season, as at 33, he isn’t going to be able to play every game.

However, at this early stage of the season, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Klich looks really good, and against Rotherham, he put in his best performance of the season.

Saiz was quieter than usual on Saturday, but he still makes things happen for Leeds.

At Swansea, he will be looking to be at his best.

Ezgjan Alioski has been very good so far this season, but Bielsa might be tempted to make a change with Leeds playing two away fixtures in the space of a week.

Harrison is the obvious choice to step in on the left.

Like Alioski, there will be a temptation to turn to Patrick Bamford and fresh legs. However, Roofe’s amongst the goals and looks high on confidence. Bielsa needs to stick with the 25-year-old.
