Marcelo Bielsa reveals what has changed at Leeds United after Bristol City and Reading wins

Marcelo Bielsa thinks recent results have helped to restore confidence in Leeds' Championship promotion push.

Back-to-back 1-0 home wins against Bristol City and Reading have seen the Whites open up a five-point gap over third-placed Fulham.

Bielsa's side had previously won only two of the last 11 league games as their push for automatic promotion appeared to stall.

Leeds head to Middlesbrough on Wednesday night looking for three straight victories for the first time in 2020.

"There are two kinds of doubt. The doubt related to the result and the doubt about how the team play.

"Usually managers pay more attention to how the teams play and supporters care more about results. When you have good results all around the team, it strengthens the confidence.

"I didn't see big change. What I can tell you is that football is a discipline where maybe you have the same performance but get different results."
