Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa insists their style of play doesn't need adjusting.

Bielsa's side can climb into the top half with victory against Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Monday night.

But the Argentinian has always put performances ahead of results and sees no reason to change in Leeds' first season back in the top flight in 16 years.

“The most important thing is how we play, which allows us to finish where (we end up) in the table," he said.

“If you finish eighth by not playing well, for me that's worse than finishing 12th and playing well.

“But it's also true by playing well it's easier to finish higher up the table. I hope we are able to play well and advance up the table."

Leeds have been widely regarded as one of the Premier League's most entertaining sides this season, but the 65-year-old accepts he and his side will always be open to criticism.

“Almost everyone finds us entertaining," he said. “There's those who find it entertaining to face a side who concede as many as we do.

“Like all the other teams we choose to play in a certain style because we think it's what's going to bring us closer to winning."
