Best bets
A major talking point of Leeds United's wondrous return to Premier League football is the fact that the Whites have scored and conceded 50 goals. Brighton, on the other hand, have conceded 39 but scored 17 fewer than Marcelo Bielsa's side.
Marcelo Bielsa's side are undefeated in their last six games, notably taking points from Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool. Their prospects of a top-half finish appear likelier than ever.
Bielsa and Leeds can rejoice in successful season
Leeds initially caught the attention of football fans around the globe for their fearless free-flowing style and devastating counter attacking. However, there have also been controversies including 'Spygate' and that infamous match with Aston Villa at Elland Road.
