Steven Gerrard says Leeds United have “really improved” based on their narrow defeat at Leicester City at the weekend, which was new boss Jesse March’s first game in charge of the club following the departure of Marcelo Bielsa. Leeds will come into the game having lost all five of their last games, while they are also without a win in seven Premier League matches. Having said that, Gerrard is expecting the Elland Road crowd to provide Marsch with a lift.
Steven Gerrard said: “Every manager is after consistency. We have put in some good performances. Two clean sheets. The mood in the dressing room is really good. But you have to reset. Leeds away. They are going to get that new manager bounce. They were really improved. I watched the game against Leicester. And I am sure Elland Road is going to be behind them, so we have to be ready and prepare for that.”
