da bet sport: Leeds United hold their own fate in their hands once again, only this time they are showing no signs of letting up like last season.
What’s he said?
da betobet: The Whites are on a run of five straight victories which has seen them leapfrog West Brom into first position in the Championship, and with only nine games remaining, they have every chance of clinching a return to the top-flight for the first time since 2004.
Even though they have opened up a seven-point cushion to the playoffs, last season’s late collapse will be very much still on the minds of some at Elland Road while there is no easy game in the division either as Stuart Dallas has reiterated in a recent interview with LUTV.
United head to Cardiff City on Sunday afternoon, a side who are also fighting for the chance to earn promotion to the Premier League.
Leeds’ utility man said:
“You’ve seen the results in the league, it’s crazy.
“We will go again against Cardiff next week, if they win they can go into the Play-Offs, so it’s another tough one.
“There’s nine games to go, nine cup finals and I’m sure the rest of the season will be a rollercoaster.
“We have to do everything we can do to be ready for the next match, we are professionals, we know what’s at stake and we don’t want to let that go.
“When you see the end results and what we can achieve, you’ll do anything to get there.”

Encouraging signs
Marcelo Bielsa’s side are in a rich vein of form at the minute, but what makes it even more impressive is the fact that they are yet to concede in all of their five wins.
In that run, they have battled Bristol City, Reading and Huddersfield who have only failed to score a goal this season in 30% or fewer of their matches.

This time last year, Leeds lost five of their last ten matches to sink to third place at the expense of Norwich City and Sheffield United – they had held the throne for 33 of their opening 42 outings and didn’t once drop below fourth place.
But things feel a lot different now, especially as the west Yorkshiremen look imperious in their pursuit of clinching that Premier League spot and are certainly dispelling that ‘Bielsa Burnout’ myth at the same time, too.
