Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa insists that confidence is still high among players despite their winless start to the season as they aim to escape the relegation zone against Watford

Marcelo Bielsa insists confidence remains high as Leeds bid for their first Premier League win of the season on Saturday against Watford.

The Whites will kick off at Elland Road in the relegation zone - and without injured striker Patrick Bamford - after taking three points from their opening six matches.

Defeats to Manchester United, Liverpool and latterly West Ham have prompted anxious debate among some Leeds fans on social media, but Bielsa assured them self-belief in his camp has been unaffected.
