THE PREDICTION

Clashes between these two Yorkshire sides always contain some serious spice and despite no fans being allowed into Elland Road, the same is expected between Leeds and Sheffield Utd. The Blades are sat rock bottom of the Premier League, 14 points adrift of safety and destined for the Championship. Paul Heckingbottom’s first game is interim boss saw his side thrashed 5-0 by Leicester and his former club Leeds would love a similar result in this match. Whilst the Whites have struggled at home in recent fixtures, winning just two of their last six league games on their own patch, Marcelo Bielsa’s side should prove far too strong for a Blades outfit devoid on belief, ideas and confidence. Expect a Leeds win here by at least two clear goals.
