Leeds United take on West Bromwich Albion on Friday night.
Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has told Leeds Live that he thinks West Bromwich Albion’s great strength is in their attacking options.
The Whites are back in action once again tomorrow night, making it three games in six days for Bielsa’s side.
Saturday’s win over Bolton Wanderers was a major victory, but the midweek defeat to Queens Park Rangers makes tomorrow night’s game all the more important.
Leeds sit third in the Championship table, level on points with second-placed Sheffield United and just two points behind Norwich City, but four points ahead of Friday’s opponents West Brom.
The Baggies lost at home to Sheffield United last week, and will be hoping to avoid a double promotion blow as they take on Leeds at Elland Road.
Only Norwich have scored more Championship goals than West Brom this season, and their attacking options look strong even having lost Harvey Barnes back to Leicester in January.
Dwight Gayle, Jay Rodriguez and Hal Robson-Kanu are all dangerous strikers, whilst wingers Jacob Murphy, Jefferson Montero and Matt Phillips all have real quality too.
Ahead of the game, Bielsa has offered his verdict on West Brom, admitting that their main strength comes in the quality – and quantity – of their attacking options in the final third.
“It’s another kind of opponent,” said Bielsa. “An opponent that will play against us and this rival has the same conditions as us. West Brom’s main skills are the quantity and quality of the offensive players.
