The Whites suffered a 6-2 loss away to Manchester United last time out to remain in 14th spot on the Premier League standings. Marcelo Bielsa blamed the heavy defeat on individual errors and added that it is only natural for the club's style of play to be called into question when they lose.
"They took advantage of our misplaced passing when we tried to build the attack and this is how they created the majority of their chances," Bielsa told Sky Sports. "If the opposing team is able to impose their style on us it means the opposing manager was able to neutralise it. We will correct things but we will not abandon the way we play.
"When we lose there are questions about the style of play and when we win we are praised for it. This is something we just have to take on board," he added.
Burnley head into this weekend's round of fixtures on a four-game unbeaten run. The Clarets followed a 0-0 draw away to Aston Villa with a 2-1 win at home to Wolves with the result enough to move the club up to 16th spot on the league standings, four points behind Leeds.
This will be the first league meeting between the two teams at Elland Road since a 1-1 draw in the Championship more than five years ago. On that day, Mirco Antenucci opened the scoring for the hosts before a Sam Vokes equaliser.
