da doce： Leeds United face Blackburn Rovers this weekend, and that represents a real chance for United to get back into the top two as the Lancashire club are deeply rooted in the bottom half of the Championship table.
However, the former Premier League champions can be a dangerous side as shown in their last two fixtures as they went 2-0 up against Preston before throwing away their lead, while this past weekend they beat Sheffield Wednesday.
The aforementioned teams have both drawn with Leeds in the past few of weeks, so the Whites need to be prepared if they’re to beat Blackburn this weekend, and that means doing their best to stifle one man.

Blackburn’s talisman
Now, we don’t like to call any side a one-man team, but the Rovers are the closest thing you’ll get to that in the Championship.
Indeed, Bradley Dack is undoubtedly Tony Mowbray’s most important player, he’s their top scorer this season – just as he was last term, and his performances often decide whether or not Blackburn win or lose.
Marcelo Bielsa must be wary of the threat that Dack poses, and there is one way that he can prepare for playing against him this weekend.
Why being the away goalkeeper at Leeds is the toughest job in football in the video below…
Three at the back
Bielsa usually only employs a three at the back formation against teams that are operating with two strikers, but perhaps he should stray away from that concept so that his side are better equipped to deal with Dack.
United have kept two clean sheets in a row while using a three at the back formation, including one against QPR, a team that possesses another attacking midfielder in the mould of Dack in Eberechi Eze.
A similar player, he’s scored six times and grabbed four assists from a combination of central and wider roles.
Having three centre-backs behind Kalvin Phillips alleviated some of the defensive responsibilities that the midfielder usually has, which in turn, allowed him to focus completely on limiting what Eze could do in that game.
Leeds should treat Dack with that same level of respect, because if they can take him out of the game their chances of winning drastically increase.
