Marcelo Bielsa has named an unchanged line-up for Leeds' match against Stoke City this weekend, where they will be hoping to make it back-to-back wins. 

Yorkshire Evening Post journalist, Phil Hay, has recently revealed from a pre-match press conference that Bielsa isn't planning on making any changes to his side.

It won't come as a surprise to see Bielsa naming an unchanged side, as Leeds were impressive against Derby recently as they sent out a statement to their promotion rivals with a convincing 2-0 win at Elland Road.

This isn't the first time we have seen Bielsa announce his line-up well in advance of a game, and it's a move that seems to be going down well with Leeds supporters.

It's ironic as Bielsa has come under intense criticism from other supporters, who aren't keen on his 'spygate' issues that has caught the headlines recently.

But if the Leeds boss is naming his side early, then it gives Stoke the chance to plan ahead against individual players.

It could be a potentially tricky fixture for the Whites against a Stoke side that need to break out of a poor run of form, with newly appointed boss Nathan Jones hoping to get his first win in charge of the Potters.

The Verdict

He's giving the opposition the opportunity to plan ahead for this one.

After the 'spygate' issue, you have to admire Bielsa's confidence in naming his side two days before the game on Saturday.

This could either backfire, or it will prove to be another good move.
