OPINION
Leeds can take a big step towards promotion to the Premier League if they can win for the third time in a row against Sheffield United on Saturday.
They play in the early kick-off again for the benefit of the Sky cameras, something their fans are getting used to this season.
And victory might not only take them back to the top of the table but it would be the first time they’ve won three on the bounce since the start of the season.
The good news is that Pontus Jansson is back and fit to play and he must come straight back into the side.
That means Kalvin Phillips can go back to the position he’s excelled in this season.
The other two changes Bielsa must make are the two he made that turned the game at half-time against Reading.
It’s time for Samu Saiz to come back and offer that creative spark back into the side.
Hopefully a spell on the sidelines will have given him the shock he needed to bring his top form out for Leeds in the cold, winter months. He’s not done it before.
And youngster Jack Clarke should get his first start for the club after an impressive 45 minutes against Reading. Ezgjan Alioski didn’t play well against Reading, didn’t please Bielsa with his dive, and the team were better without him. He needs a rest.
It means Alioski, Lewis Baker and Adam Forshaw dropping out of the side that won last time out.
This is the team that will come back with all three points from Bramall Lane.
