Leeds’ thrilling start to life back in the Premier League under head coach Marcelo Bielsa is one of the highlights of the season so far.

Since an end-to-end 4-3 defeat at champions Liverpool on the opening day, Leeds have beaten Fulham and Sheffield United before taking a deserved point off Manchester City in last weekend’s pulsating 1-1 draw.

Here, the PA news agency looks at why Leeds have made such a big impression and whether they can maintain it.
