Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is happy with his defence ahead of today's clash with Tottenham.

Bielsa was asked about facing Spurs pair Harry Kane and Gareth Bale.

On Kane, the Argentine said: “Harry Kane has a stability in his performances throughout the whole campaign. To consider the performance he had against us such a long time ago, to say or look at how he's evolved or not when he had that impact against us, it is not an exercise that is convenient because he has a regularity in his game that we don't need to look back so far."

On Bale, who hit a hat-trick in victory over Sheffield United last week, Bielsa also said: “The last game is a good place to look at and judge how his form is. The qualities that he has are known by everyone and of course this last game is a point of focus given how difficult it is to score three goals. Also, taking into account that the goals he has scored showed the virtues that he has."

Bielsa was also asked about the impressive progress of his centre-half pairing.

“Diego Llorente and Pascal Struijk have shown that they can live up to the level that the previous people who have played in this position were playing at. As you well know, there are other factors that are taken into consideration when you look at each game. In any case, what I always consider, what's best for the team and what is best for each player that participates. There is nothing more important than to play with the participation of each player."
