Leeds United sit third in the Championship table over the international break and resume with back-to-back home matches at Elland Road starting with Bristol City on Saturday.

Most Whites fans would have taken this position at this stage before a ball was kicked, but they have had plenty of time to dwell over the 4-1 hammering at the hands of West Brom in the last match.

All eyes will be on Marcelo Bielsa’s side to see if he mixes anything around and it will intriguing to see if he sticks with Ezgjan Alioski.

Leeds boss Bielsa has shown groundless faith to start him in all 17 league fixtures so far and it seems undeserved considering his form.

The 26-year-old winger continues to earn a spot in the starting XI despite his lack of influence in the final third and there are teammates in the squad pushing to replace him.

Alioski has three goals and three assists so far this campaign, but has not been directly involved in a goal during the last five league games.

His defensive qualities give him a good edge to play out wide and he usually tracks back, but lately Leeds have been sacrificing a lot in attack by playing him.
