Leeds United not winning a single game in three outings would usually not raise any eyebrows, but under Marcelo Bielsa, it will be a shock to the system.

The Whites have struggled with injuries recently, and certain players started to look tired in the 1-1 draw against Preston on Thursday.

That isn't what fans will have wanted to see over the busy Christmas period, as Leeds have definitely missed a chance to extend their lead over the chasing pack.

All you can do is try and win your next game though, and next up for Leeds is a trip to face Birmingham on Sunday.

Sky Sports pundit, David Prutton has recently predicted that Leeds will only manage to pick up a point in a 1-1 draw at St Andrew's after their recent dip in form.

"Birmingham showed good resolve to grab a point at Blackburn on Boxing Day, which is never an easy place to go," Prutton wrote. "It was important for them to end a run of three straight defeats, too," he added.

"Leeds are in a bit of a slump, at least by their high standards. It's three without a win now and they did struggle against the Blues last season. I fancy a draw here."

In the reverse fixture, it was a cagey clash for the centenary game which was settled by a late Kalvin Phillips goal at Elland Road.

So looking into that game, it comes as no surprise to see Prutton predict yet another game without a victory for Leeds, who need to bounce back and quick.
