“You want to be top and be the best team in the league and with the way we’ve been playing, I think we are the best team in this league. We’ve just had a few bad results recently.” 

Over the course of the season Leeds have managed to maintain the pace at the top of the Championship, but Norwich City are now starting to take hold of the division’s promotion race.

Others, like Boro, West Brom and Sheffield United, are bang in contention, however, Leeds now have back-to-back fixtures at Elland Road against Swansea and Bolton, giving Bielsa’s men a good chance to showcase their credentials.
