Leeds United digest: Preston reaction, player ratings, Bielsa's take, Alioski's frustrations

Leeds United's 1-1 draw against Preston North End was the big story on Tuesday, as Eddie Nketiah came off the bench to head home a late equaliser at Deepdale.

The draw means that Leeds maintain their place in the top two, with West Brom dropping points at home to Barnsley.

Here is a look at the latest Leeds United stories.

Bielsa on Nketiah vs Bamford and more

We'll start with Marcelo Bielsa's post-match press conference, where he fielded questions on the Bamford vs Nketiah debate, Stuart Dallas' role and the late penalty decision.

Recap it here.

Fans' verdict on Nketiah

The big debate online following the 1-1 draw was over who should lead the line at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.

Bamford has had a lot of defenders in recent weeks, but the general consensus appears to be that Nketiah should be handed an opportunity this weekend.

Here's what they've been saying.

Alioski fumes

Gjanni Alioski criticised the match officials after Leeds United's 1-1 draw at Preston.

The North Macedonia international cut a frustrated figure after Leeds came away from Deepdale with just a point despite creating a number of good chances to take the lead.

Alioski was particularly critical of the decision not to award Leeds a penalty in the dying moments of the game, after Tyler Roberts went down in the box following a challenge from Preston's Ben Pearson.

Here's what he said in full.
