Survival seems guaranteed for Leeds United, the best performing of the three promoted sides, and now the hunt must be for a top half finish. They host bottom placed Sheffield United as action resumes after the international break. Going to the game, Leeds are 11th with 39 points while Sheffield have so far managed 14 points. The win over Fulham ahead of the international break was key for Leeds, ending a three-game winless run and eased much pressure over their league status. It’s been a season with lessons for The Whites; they’ve conceded the most goals so far in the top 11 in the league but with 45 goals, they are also among the best scoring teams. It hasn’t been smooth in recent times for the team; out of the last 13 matches, they’ve lost seven and won just five while they’ve scored five and conceded four goals in the last five matches. In three of their last four matches, Leeds have failed to score and as a result, each of the three has ended in under 2.5 goals. They have won just five of their 14 home league games this season, with only two clean sheets in the process. Going to this game, they may have to do without Mateusz Klich after the midfielder tested positive for Covid-19 while with Poland on international duty.

Sheffield United have nine matches to save their season but their run of form in their recent matches doesn’t inspire much belief that they’ll survive. The recent sacking of manager Chris Wilder hasn’t eased matters for the team, and in their last match, despite their best efforts, they lost 2-0 to Chelsea in the FA Cup. Sheffield are now goalless in three matches and have lost six of their last seven games. In the league, they have the least tally of goals scored (16), while they’ve conceded 50 goals in 29 matches. They’ve conceded 11 goals in the last five matches and scored just one. Going here having failed to score in six of their last seven matches points to a serious lack of confidence and to make it worse, Sheffield have five straight away losses. In the five away losses, they’ve conceded 12 and scored no goal. They have one win and 12 losses in the 14 away league matches they’ve played this season in the league, leaving them with the poorest away run, having gained just four points in their 14 away matches.
