Matching Bielsa’s best record
Avoid defeat and Jesse Marsch will have taken Leeds United to an unbeaten six-match run which equals the best spell Marcelo Bielsa had in the Premier League. Also in late April, Bielsa took Leeds to six without defeat 12 months ago, but that run included Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United.
It seems like a massive ask for this Leeds incarnation, languishing in a top-flight relegation battle, to hold off a title-challenging City, but if they do, this is the kind of streak Marsch will be on. The quality of football has come under scrutiny, but the results cannot be argued with.
