(Reuters) - Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuettl says he is looking forward to pitting his wits against his Leeds United counterpart Marcelo Bielsa and expects Tuesday's Premier League fixture to be a battle of contrasting tactics and styles.

Leeds have earned praise for their high-energy, attack-minded approach, which has helped them to 12th, two places ahead of Southampton, and Hasenhuettl said his football philosophy was very different from Bielsa's.
