It’s 3rd plays 4th, West Yorkshire plays South Yorkshire on Friday, in a clash between 2 very good teams. Leeds who had been top of the Championship, met a poor run of form with 3 straight defeats but they managed to end that sequence with a 3-0 win at home to Bristol City on Saturday.
Sheffield United are 4 points ahead of Leeds and have won 3 out of their 4 away matches. Both teams are solid defensively and if there is to be a winner you’d fancy it to be only be by the odd goal. The Blades are that bit more consistent and after winning League 1 last season are very much used to winning football matches, so it may be best to side with them in this one.
