Leeds will be without the injured Kalvin Phillips and Aston Villa lack the similarly indisposed Jack Grealish. Only time will tell which talisman will prove the bigger miss but Villa may need to be mindful of their hosts penchant for so-called tactical fouling. After Marcelo Bielsa’s side beat Southampton 3-0 in midweek – a result that lifted Leeds to 10th – Ralph Hasenhüttl said Bielsa’s players were far more streetwise than his team. “They’re very clever,” Hasenhüttl said. “They always stopped our counterattacks with a simple foul in midfield. It stopped everything. They do it very smart.” Louise Taylor
