THE PREDICTION
Leeds have been involved in two seven-goal thrillers in their opening two matches as they are proving to be highly entertaining on their return to the top flight. They will relish this Yorkshire derby and they will be hoping to count upon key veteran Pablo Hernandez who missed out with a tight groin last weekend. They have also been boosted by the signing of Spanish central defender Diego Llorente who could potentially even come straight in for Koch who has struggled in the first two games. Their opponents Sheffield United have been off the pace in their opening two games but this fixture will get their juices flowing. They are without the suspended Egan but Ampadu will likely come in at the back. With both defences somewhat unsettled, goals look likely again and while seven is hard to envisage, both teams scoring is the way forward here.
