Stoke have looked a little better since those substitutions, but Leeds are torturing them. Won't somebody think of the children?

Bruno Martins Indi watches languidly as Ezgjan Alioski's ball drifts unchallenged into the box - and Mateusz Klich strokes a volley just wide.

That sums up Stoke's afternoon - they haven't been able to get near this Leeds team, and Martins Indi's surrender was so meek it looks like they've stopped trying to.

Gary Rowett makes a double substitution in a frantic throw of the dice, as Badou Ndiaye and Oghenekaro Etebo make way for Darren Fletcher and Bojan.

Marcelo Bielsa is on his feet for the first time in the game, hollering instructions at his team.

His side have been excellent today, a perfect blend of composure, tenacity and pace.

They look venomous going forward, but he won't let the tempo drop.

You wonder how long they can realistically keep this pressing up, but Bielsa has upped the ante at the training ground and his players train from 9 am until seven or eight at night, with dormitories at the training ground for siestas.

Barry Douglas traps Tom Ince inside the box - and Leeds can't argue with the ref's decision...

We talked a little before kick-off about Leeds' biggest outlay since Robbie Fowler in Patrick Bamford, but we have to remember that apart from Barry Douglas, every member of Leeds' starting XI was at the club last season.

Marcelo Bielsa has always been hailed as an excellent coach, and it's been proven already in how far he's brought these players on in such a short space of time.

It's weird given there were a lot of questions about the quality of Leeds' squad last season.

Leigh Sanders: 'If Mateusz Klich forces poor Joe Allen any further back he'll be in 2016 and playing for Liverpool again.'

Do you mean 2016 and in a European Championship semi-final and making team of the tournament @KatieWhyatt?

That works too! Poor Joe Allen probably wishes he was back in France, to be fair...

We're back under way - can Stoke find a way back into this game?

One of the more divisive bits of Leeds' transfer business this summer was the sale of England Under-21 international Ronaldo Vieira to Italian side Sampdoria in a deal thought to be worth £7.7 million.

In an interview with BBC sports editor Dan Roan, Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani said the club had to "sacrifice" the midfielder to help fund investments.

As well as talking about new boss Marcelo Bielsa, Radrizzani spoke about the club's transfer business and finances.

The most deeply-slumbering of all of football's sleeping giants, Leeds United have tried all manner of solutions in their bid to burst back to the Premier League - but to no avail.

Marcelo Bielsa was widely considered a huge coup for the West Yorkshire club when he became their 11th new boss in the past six years in June.

That's right - eleventh. But what happened to all the others? Where are they now? Do you even remember them all?

Prior to Bielsa's arrival, we put together a quiz to test the last of those difficult, probing, testing questions. Can you name the ten Leeds United managers who have taken charge of the club since Simon Grayson, above, left in February 2012? Click here to find out.

In case you missed it amid a frantic day of EFL action, Reading boss Paul Clement was the author of some serious Twitter beef yesterday morning.

Free agent and former Derby striker Darren Bent, 34, was acting as a Sky Sports pundit before Derby's 2-1 win against Reading on Friday - when he said it was "inevitable" former Rams boss Clement would fail at Pride Park because he switched his philosophy and "didn't like confrontation".

Clement wasn't about to sit back and watch his eight month Derby reign be slandered so brutally, and responded by doing what we all do in times of crisis.

He took to Twitter.

So much for not liking confrontation.

Well, well, well...

There was some breathtaking stuff from Leeds at times - but for Stoke, their new campaign has picked up right where last season's left off.

Stay with us at half-time - we have some more EFL action lined up...

Stoke haven't really been in the game, to be honest - but this furious, high-pressing, high-energy start is exactly what Marcelo Bielsa will have wanted from his Leeds side.

There have been few moments of joy for Gary Rowett to take from what's largely been a turgid half for his team.

They've barely got within a breath of the Leeds forwards at times...

Time seems to slow down as Kemar Roofe's cross hangs perfectly in the air, waiting for Ezgjan Alioski to make contact.

There are three other white shirts in the box but Alioski is a little too far out to really direct the header properly.

Stoke are at sixes and sevens at the back, and are really struggling to deal with such ornate but bruising forward play from Leeds.

Pablo Hernandez scoops a lovely, lovely dinked ball into Ezgjan Alioski, who can only volley it directly at Jack Butland.

You can't help but purr when watching this Leeds team - this football is so indulgently easy on the eye they should ration it.

Right on cue, Kemar Roofe bursts into the box and his low strike inches past Butland's left post.

It's been a little less frenetic in the past few minutes but Leeds have still been awash with fluidity.

They're spinning and shuffling and rotating all over the shop like some kind of football equivalent of a Rubik's Cube.

There's an, um, industrial challenge on Samu Saiz from Erik Pieters that draws ire from Marcelo Bielsa - it's a pretty cynical tackle, but Stoke need calm heads if they're to prevail here.

Things really could not have gone any better for Leeds so far - they have been excellent.

But can they keep this tempo up? Any dip could give Stoke's quality the time and space they need to get back into this game.

Gaetano Berardi is caught in possession and James McLean is pulling all the strings.

He's got Benik Afobe running alongside him and Stoke have the numerical advantage, but Liam Cooper gambles and guesses right to redirect McLean's pass.

It falls at the feet of Oghenekaro Etobe, but his tame shot was never really going to trouble Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
