Leeds United finally lost this season when they went down to Preston North End in the second round of the League Cup.

Following the defeat the Lilywhites manager Alex Neil gave his views on the best way to play against Leeds.

“We felt having watched them, we knew how to play against them,” said Neil.

“This team have been outstanding. They’ve been blowing sides away. To come here and beat them 2-0 and play 70 minutes with ten men speaks volumes.

“If you sit off they will damage you. If you fight fire with fire, they will damage you. We have to press better than them and hope you retain it better,”

But is Neil onto something? Has he found he secret behind beating Leeds?

We discuss.....

There’s an element of truth in it, but it might also be fair to say Leeds were simply not prepared.

It would be an injustice to Preston to say Leeds lost it rather than them winning it, but it might be true.

Neill did say they ‘won’ the penalty by waiting for contact and going down.

I don’t think much can be gleaned from a League Cup win against the reserve side.

Potentially.

Let's be honest it was two changed sides so the league fixture will give more away.

Even so, it did work playing high up against their press and so it'll be interesting to see if other sides have a go at that - it's brave if they do though...
