Tottenham and Leeds face eachother for the second time this season when Antonio Conte's side travel to Elland Road and the Italian has already had his say on Marcelo Bielsa.
The Lilywhites are currently eighth after their defeat to Burnley on Wednesday, despite going into the game at Turf Moor after beating Man City 3-2.
Leeds are also struggling, going into the clash on the back of three defeats to Everton, Man United and Liverpool, leaving them 15th having conceded 56 goals in 25 games.
The first time the two sides met this season was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and after Daniel James scored just before half-time, Sergio Reguilon and Pierre Emile Hojbjerg helped their side comeback and the game ended in a 2-1 win for Spurs.
Ahead of the tie between the two in November, Bielsa gave his verdict on Conte and Tottenham's style of play.
"His style of play distinguishes him from all other managers," the Leeds boss admitted. "When they attack, they attack with a lot of players and without fixed positions.
"It means you have to read the game in a way which is not simple because of the distribution of their attacking players.
"I would almost say, in terms of their style of play, the positioning is actually the least important thing. What you really have you prepare for is a dynamic and intense game with a constant back and forth," Bielsa added.
The 66-year-old has now had an experience of the Spurs boss' style of play and may be better equipped in the tie at Elland Road, causing more problems for a Tottenham side who need a positive bounce back after their mid-week fixture.
November's game was the first time the managers had been in opposing dugouts but in 2015 they were both at Italy's 'Panchina d'Oro' [Golden Bench] which is an award celebrating the Italian coach of the year.
The Spurs boss won the award three times, from 2012-2014 and at the event seven years ago was seen watching on as Bielsa revealed some of his managerial tactics.
Conte also expressed his praise for the Argentine before the Lilywhites' last clash with Leeds.
"For sure, Marcelo Bielsa is a top coach, he has great experience, a lot of experiences with national teams, with clubs and in every place he worked he did very well," he explained. "I like him, because he’s a good person, a serious person and he has his own methods. He goes with his methods and I think this is great for me.
"This is a team that is very physical, good organisation and we must be ready to keep the same intensity as Leeds."
Clearly both managers have a lot of respect for one another and Conte has shown he thinks highly of the Leeds boss.
The Italian had an emotional post match press conference after the Burnley defeat but seemed to have some more hope when speaking to the media ahead of the trip to Elland Road.
"I'm a realistic person and for now the most important thing is the present and not look forward too much," he admitted.
"We have to finish this season. We are working very hard and we deserve much more. The players at the club, especially our fans, deserve the best and for us to make them happy."
The game on Saturday is a big one for both managers with Tottenham still trying to clutch onto a top four spot and Leeds working to stay out of the relegation zone.
