(Reuters) - Leeds United are back in the Premier League for the first time in 16 years with a style of play under eccentric manager Marcelo Bielsa that is as far removed from their historic "Dirty Leeds" image as it is possible to get.

During a long and varied career, the 65-year-old Argentine coach has deployed an exhilarating, whirlwind brand of football designed to not let the opposition breathe -- although it risks leaving his own players exhausted before the end of the season.
