Leeds United have gotten themselves back on track after suffering two heavy defeats before the international break. Both Leicester and Crystal Palace hit the Whites for four goals each, putting a huge dampener on their returning season in the Premier League.

But after clinging on against Arsenal to ride out a 0-0 draw, the Whites went on to scrape a hard-earned win over Everton on Saturday.

Raphinha shone for Leeds with his goal banking all three points, but Marcelo Bielsa highlighted the team's defensive issues. The Argentinian admitted that Liam Cooper, Mateusz Klich and Stuart Dallas had a tough time dealing with the threat of James Rodriguez.

Similarly, former Aston Villa striker Marlon Harewood believes that Leeds must strengthen their defence in January.

"I would say if they're looking to stay in the Premier League, they would need an experienced centre-half in their back four, just to steady the ship if they're leaking goals," the 41-year-old told Football FanCast. "To be fair, defensively they've been doing really well, but it doesn't always work when they're playing top-class players."

Indeed, Leeds have conceded 17 goals so far this season, with the likes of Liverpool and Fulham taking advantage of their backline.

The Whites boast one of the most clinical strikers in the league with Patrick Bamford, but they must turn attention to their defence if they want to avoid the drop at the end of the season. Whilst they signed Diego Llorente to strengthen their centre-back options, he is yet to feature for his new club due to injury.

Harewood believed that Bielsa will already be considering his options and will be analysing his team now that domestic football has returned.
