Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United are on a poor run of form that threatens to cost them their place in the Premier League next season if they don’t put it right soon.

The promotion hopefuls have won just one of their last six league fixtures, and during that time, Fulham, Nottingham Forest and Brentford have all closed the gap on the top two and stand a great chance of overtaking the Whites as we head into the business end of the season.

Is Bielsa responsible for Leeds United's decline?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Bielsa’s side travel down to London on Tuesday night to face an in-form Brentford side at Griffin Park who currently sit just two points behind them. With that in mind, and emotions after the Nottingham Forest defeat at the weekend still running high, some fans have taken to social media calling on the 64-year-old to resign if he fails to deliver promotion.

What do we think?

In our view, Marcelo Bielsa is a man very set in his ways, therefore despite some fans calling for players like Patrick Bamford and Kiko Casilla to be dropped, that will be unlikely to influence the former Argentina boss’ decision, with that particular duo missing one league game between them. Tuesday night’s game at Brentford will no doubt be a challenging fixture and one that if the Whites were to lose, would see them fall out of the automatic promotion places.
