The Yorkshire giants are three points ahead of Sheffield United with just four games left.

They've not played in the top flight since 2004, but Marcelo Bielsa's arrival and an injection of cash from owner Andrea Radrizzani looks to have got the job done.

Leeds host Wigan on Good Friday and then travel to Brentford on Easter Monday.

Aston Villa then visit Elland Road before a trip to already-relegated Ipswich on the final.

Here, Starsport take a look at where it's all gone right for Leeds... so far.

Will they go up?

Leeds kicked off their campaign with a stunning 3-1 win over promotion favourites Stoke. It was a high-octane, hugely impressive result but the performance raised as many questions as answers.

The feeling back in August was that Bielsa-ball would flourish in the short-term but such was the energy expended in playing this way, the tactics would ultimately tire players out.

A few weeks ago, it looked as if the doom-merchants would be proved correct but Leeds have recovered well from their post-New Year blip.

And on the evidence of Saturday’s 1-0 win over in-form Sheffield Wednesday, there’s plenty left in the tank.

A league campaign is supposed to be a marathon not a sprint but Marcelo Bielsa’s turbo-charged side are galloping towards the finishing line.

Can they stay up?

Listening to matchwinner Jack Harrison after their latest triumph, Leeds will bring “something special” to the top table.

It’s impossible to disagree. Bielsa has introduced a brand of football very different to rival teams in the Championship.

Undoubtedly, he’ll have to modify it against Premier League teams, who will be better equipped to handle the intensity of his team.

But Leeds will be tough opponents whoever they face, particularly in the cauldron that is Elland Road.

Owls’ boss Steve Bruce said on Saturday night: “Considering the players are virtually the same as last season, it’s remarkable Leeds’ transformation under Bielsa.”

It’s not a leap of faith to suggest the Argentinian boss can squeeze even more out of them next term.

Bielsa intrigue

Marcelo Bielsa doesn’t do soundbites. In fact, his press conferences can sound remarkably dull. He communicates through an interpreter, is barely audible and talks the language of a football technocrat.

But that doesn’t make him any less fascinating. The man who both Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino claim to be their mentor, oozes charisma for all his taciturnity and reluctance to indulge in football-speak.

When “Spygate” hit the headlines, it could have sullied Bielsa’s reputation. Instead, the way he responded, refusing to apologise, inviting the media to a power-point presentation and effectively giving the world an insight into his managerial methods only fuelled the legend.

What will Leeds bring to the Premier League

Big crowds, home and away. A football club steeped in history and tradition. A world-famous manager and Bielsa-ball football.

It’s 15 years since Leeds last graced the top flight, almost five decades since they were the best team in the land.

But like Aston Villa and Sunderland whose own dark ages haven’t extended anywhere near as long, they’ve remained one of the biggest clubs in English football.

“We all hate Leeds and Leeds and Leeds...”

Or do we? OK, football fans laughed when, under the chairmanship of Peter Ridsdale, Leeds United self-imploded just three years after reaching the Champions League semi-finals.

And they were still chortling when Leeds crashed into the third tier – and failed to make it out at the first attempt.

But the joke’s worn thin over the years. The Premier League has missed Leeds and should they go up, these fallen giants will be welcomed back with open arms.

If only to start singing “We all hate Leeds..” all over again!

Who’ll shine in the top flight?

Spanish schemer Pablo Hernandez is 34 but will be given the chance to light up the biggest stage in the way Gordon Strachan – another thirty-something – did in his twilight years.

Skipper Liam Cooper has been a rock at the back this season and at 27 should be approaching his prime.

But it is some of the youngsters Bielsa has handed chances too who could really light up the Premier League.

Kalvin Phillips has come through the ranks to make the midfield anchor role his own, Tyler Roberts at 20, has shone both at club level and for Wales while teenagers Jack Clarke and Jamie Shackleton are regarded as two of Leeds’ brightest prospects for years.

Where will Bielsa look to strengthen?

Leeds don’t have a natural goalscorer in the way that promotion rivals Norwich and Sheffield United do in Teemu Pukki and Billy Sharp respectively.

Kemar Roofe was on fire earlier this season but the goals have dried up while Patrick Bamford has his moments but struggled in the top flight with previous clubs.

And Bielsa will probably be looking to bring in a quality midfielder too.

Pole Mat Klich has been a revelation since the new coach arrived but will he be as effective in the top flight?

And while youthful flair is one thing, the Leeds squad is lacking a midfielder with Premier League experience.
