Leeds United vs Sheffield United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Chris Wilder’s side eye sealing the top spot with a win over Leeds.

Fifth-placed Leeds United will host joint table topper Sheffield United in the upcoming EFL Championship fixture at Elland Road in Leeds, United Kingdom.

Leeds United, who narrowly missed out on Premier League promotion last season, are eager to secure all three points in their upcoming EFL Championship fixture. Leeds began their EFL campaign with a 3-3 draw against Portsmouth and a subsequent draw against West Bromwich Albion. However, they had to settle for a draw against Norwich City FC and Sunderland in their last two fixtures. Leeds United will be looking forward to returning back to winning ways as quickly as possible.

Sheffield United FC are the only team to remain unbeaten so far in the competition. In their last two encounters, they secured all possible six points with wins over Luton Town and Swansea City. Their defensive stability so far has been remarkable as they have conceded the least number of goals in the tournament.

Largie Ramazani (Leeds United)

Largie Ramazani, the 23-year-old Belgian winger plied his trade with Manchester United and Charlton Athletic during his early days. In just a short span, he registered over a century of appearances for Charlton and netted 18 goals. He recently joined Leeds and will be looking forward to orchestrating the team’s attack in the upcoming fixture against the table toppers Sheffield.

Kieffer Moore (Sheffield)

The 32-year-old Welsh international from Torquay will be determined to leave an impact when his side take on Leeds next. The veteran striker has previously made his mark for AFC Bournemouth, Ipswich Town and Cardiff City before heading towards Sheffield recently. His towering presence in the opposition’s D box is nothing less than a nightmare for defenders.
