Leeds United ace Pablo Hernandez believes that his side are going to find it difficult on the road this season, claiming that teams will know how they are going to setup against them.

The Whites recorded a 2-2 draw away to Swansea City on Tuesday night, as their 100 per cent winning record finally ended.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side do remain unbeaten and are now top of the Championship table, with Kemar Roofe and Hernandez both on the scoresheet for the visitors on Tuesday.

The Yorkshire giants were made to scrap very hard at the Liberty Stadium for a point against a Swansea team that were very positive in their approach.

Leeds playmaker Hernandez revealed he was happy with a point in the midweek draw, as standards slipped ever so slightly from the way they’ve started the season.

“I think it’s a good point [against Swansea] because if you see the game maybe it’s the worst game for us this season,” Hernandez told LUTV.

“Mostly when we play away games I think now the other teams know we put a side that always plays for attack.

“It’s difficult for us, but we can go back to Leeds happy with one point.”

Leeds are looking to play positive attacking football under Argentinian boss Bielsa and are likely to dominate the ball against most teams in the division at Elland Road.

They had 56 per cent possession against Swansea, but did see they may not have things all their own way in away fixtures moving forward.
