It’s been an encouraging start to the season for Leeds United, who under Marcelo Bielsa are looking to end the club’s long exile from the top table of English football.  

Leeds are right in the thick of a promotion race, with Bielsa’s meticulous approach one of the key reasons why the Whites are where they are this season.

However, the pressure has been eased on his players this week, with Leeds’ squad heading to London to visit Winter Wonderland for their Christmas party.

The players have opted to go in fancy dress, with @lufcsnapchats sharing images on Twitter of the playing squad dressed for their day out in London.

Mateusz Klich has perhaps stole the show with his effort as Ali G, whilst there are other characters including Shrek and Mr Incredible.

Bielsa’s side aren’t in action through the week, with their next Championship fixture not coming until Saturday afternoon when they head to Bolton Wanderers.

Leeds head to Lancashire on a four-game unbeaten run, with maximum points picked up during that time to keep the Whites in the mix for promotion.

The Verdict  

This is great to see, with the morale in Bielsa’s squad clearly flying high at the moment.

Leeds are on a fantastic run of form and it’s great to see they’ve been rewarded with a break and a chance to do something a little different.

Now, attention will surely be turning to another big fixture against Bolton.
