Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is hoping his team can rediscover their touch in front of goal when they host Championship leaders West Brom.
Bielsa’s side have won just one of their last four league matches. They wasted numerous chances in the 1-0 defeats to both Swansea and Charlton and did likewise against Derby, who punished Leeds with an injury-time equaliser in a 1-1 draw.
While wanting improvement in attack, the Argentinian also knows that West Brom will demand more from his defenders at the opposite end of the pitch.
“We focus the situation with all the points of view – what we can do in training, what we can do with videos and also what we can do talking with the players and the group,” Bielsa said in his pre-match press conference.
“We try to pay attention to all the aspects. First of all because it is our job and we have time to do it and also because it is a problem the team are having and we want to solve it. We need to score more goals.
“Also on Tuesday, however, out of all of the matches we have played so far, this opponent will be the most difficult opponent to defend against. So we must concentrate in defence too.”
West Brom will arrive at Elland Road looking to preserve the Championship’s only remaining unbeaten record.
Conversely, Stoke and Huddersfield are the two remaining teams in the division yet to win this season and they meet at the bet365 Stadium.
Stoke boss Nathan Jones is under pressure with his team bottom of the table after losing seven of their nine league matches, whereas Huddersfield have already changed their manager – appointing Danny Cowley after sacking Jan Siewert last month.
Jones hopes he gets time to revive the club’s fortunes.
“I don’t want to walk away from it because I feel this will turn, whether it’s with me or with someone else, because there’s a group there that are talented – they can do something,” he said at a pre-match press conference.
A Yorkshire derby at the KCOM Stadium sees Hull host Sheffield Wednesday. The Tigers are unbeaten in four Championship games, drawing three of them, while the Owls have taken seven points from their three matches under new boss Garry Monk.
Nottingham Forest are unbeaten since the opening day of the season and briefly went top of the table on Friday night after their 3-2 victory at Stoke. The Reds travel to Ewood Park to face Blackburn.
Middlesbrough will be looking to bounce back from successive defeats against a Preston team that has won just once away in the league so far this season.
Reading halted a three-match losing run with a draw at the weekend but the Royals are now without a win in four games and they host Fulham, who are unbeaten in their last four outings.
Wigan will hope to get a third home victory of the campaign against Birmingham, who arrive at the DW Stadium on the back of two defeats.
