Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti explains Marcelo Bielsa curiosity and gives Leeds United assessment

Carlo Ancelotti has revealed he would love to go to dinner with Marcelo Bielsa after impressing the Everton boss with Leeds United's start to the season.

The Whites take on Wolves on Monday night hoping to move third in the Premier League table with a win having collected seven points from their opening four matches.

Leeds held Manchester City to a well-earned 1-1 draw last time out and can jump above champions Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham with a second win of the season at Elland Road.

Ancelotti's side have made an equally impressive start to the campaign and sit top of the table with 13 points from their opening five matches following a 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Saturday.

The Italian has transformed Everton's side since arriving at the club earlier in the year, following the dismissal of Marco Silva.

Leeds travel to Goodison Park on November 28, before they meet again on February 2 next year.

Ancelotti has revealed he would love to go for dinner with Bielsa to chat about football, with their paths yet to cross.

Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, Ancelotti said: "We have never met. I’d like to have dinner with him and listen to him talk about football."

On Leeds' start to life back in the Premier League, he added: "In general, there is a levelling up: Aston Villa have spent a lot, Wolverhampton have ambitions, Leeds have the personality of their manager."
