A lot of Leeds United fans are stunned by the latest stat from LUFCDATA, which has revealed that the run of seven league wins in a row for the Whites has equalled their record from 2018, 2007, 1999, 1973, 1969 and 1964.
Do you think Bielsa will be bothered about the record?
Yes, he will want to make history
No, he will just care about the win
Many Whites supporters are pleased with this stat.

Beautiful stuff, cheering me up.
Speaking of consecutive, what are the records around outfield players starting league matches? Mateusz can’t be far off can he?

Some are praising Bielsa for reaching seven consecutive wins in back-to-back seasons.
So Marcelo is the first manager in #lufc history to achieve 7 consecutive victories in successive seasons! ?

Makes a change to have the same manager in consecutive seasons

However, other Leeds fans want to know if their team can finally break that record with a win over Cardiff City.

Go on…beat the record…dare you!!?

What do we think?
Leeds are on an incredible run at the moment, and to have won seven Championship matches in a row is impressive, but can they go one better and break the seven game barrier?
Cardiff have had an average season and head to Elland Road on Saturday, having only won one away match.
This is the perfect opportunity for the Whites to make history, and though Bielsa has not discussed the record, it might be in the back of his mind that he can make history.
However, the main aim for both the Argentine and his squad is to win again and keep the gap from third to them at 11 points.
This record would be a bonus to an important result.
