After two years of struggle under Marcelo Bielsa and Jesse Marsch, new boss Javi Gracia has managed to inject a bit of spirit and optimism into Leeds United. Although the Whites still haven’t secured Premier League survival, the Spanish coach and the fanbase can be pleased with three wins in six games. If they make that four wins in seven against Crystal Palace on Sunday – the mood will be much better in Yorkshire.3/6 – Leeds have won three of their six Premier League games under Javi Gracia (D1 L2), as many as they had in their previous 22 this season (D7 L12).

However, it’s the attacking potential that’s really inspiring. Gracia claimed he’s delighted with his options on the wings, where Jack Harrison, Luis Sinisterra, Willy Gnonto and Crysencio Summerville all look worthy starters. “All of them are keeping a high level when participating in the different games they play. We could speak about all of them. They’ve all played well in different games. I’m proud of it because I can choose different ways to play. In the last game against Nottingham Forest, we played with Jack on the right and Luis on the left, and that was the best option to attack to find spaces in that game. But if I choose other players, we’ll keep a high level.The Spaniard has to pick out only two of them on each matchday, which is a problem – but a good kind of problem to have.”It’s not easy, but I try picking the best players for every game. It’s the most difficult decision every week. But I have to do it, and I’m always thinking what is the best for the next game.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7161266##Speaking of Harrison, the Englishman gave more good news to the fans after he committed himself to the club by signing a new five-year contract. Although Newcastle United were very interested in signing the 26-year-old, he decided to tie himself to the Elland Road club until 2028. The winger scored against Forest, as Leeds came from behind to climb into 13th place and move two points clear of the relegation zone. On Sunday, they will host Crystal Palace in another must-win game.”I’m happy to sign a new contract with the club. Thank you for all the support over the years! Still not done with this year, we have business to finish. Need to take it game by game with everyone on board. See you on Sunday.” Прикажи ову објаву у апликацији Instagram Објава коју дели Jack Harrison (@jackharrison11)
