Marcelo Bielsa on Leicester City: "They’re a team who have been playing the same style for some time now.

“They’re a team who manage the ball well and have the spirit to attack.”

Marcelo Bielsa on Jamie Vardy's threat: "He’s a very good player who scores lots of goals and he’s very quick,” said Bielsa.

“If he’s a player who’s quite old, I’m not aware of this.

“Of course, we take into account all the characteristics of the opponent’s attackers, but there won’t be any particular changes with that in mind.”

Brendan Rodgers on Leeds: "We certainly won't make that mistake in our preparation.
