Fifth placed Sheffield are three points behind league leaders Norwich while Leeds are in second place, a point behind the top placed Norwich. Both sides are coming from wins, with Sheffield edging Brentford in a five – goal thriller to get back to winning ways after two straight draws while Leeds picked their second straight win in beating Reading 1 – 0 as they continued with their recovery, coming after a 2 – 0 win over Bristol City, having earlier lost heavily to West Brom. The two sides have each scored 32 goals in the Championship this season but Leeds edge Sheffield on the defensive front, having let in 17 while Sheffield have conceded five more. What has really worked for Sheffield this season is the fact that they are hard to beat at home; they have not lost any of their eight home matches in the league this season, winning five and drawing three and only failing to score in two of the eight. Leeds on the other hand, have won four of their nine away matches in the Championship. Two losses in their last five away matches puts a dent on their chances going into this match and having conceded in seven of the nine further reduces their chances but notably, they have scored on each of their away day in the league. Furthermore, Leeds have beaten Sheffield just once in the last nine meetings, while Sheffield have won each of the last three meetings between the two sides.
