Leeds United will be aiming to pick up another massive victory in the Championship title race when they face Sheffield United.
It’s been a run of some crucial, difficult games for Leeds United but they have nearly emerged through to the other side still top of the Championship table.
Daniel Farke’s side were staring down the barrel of dropping vital points at home to Sunderland on Monday before Pascal Struijk’s massive brace turned things around.
Leeds now have another Monday night match against a team in red and white stripes next, when they face Sheffield United.
The Whites hold a two-point advantage over their Yorkshire rivals so the game couldn’t be more important in the race for the title.
Here is everything you need to know.

Sheffield United vs Leeds team news
Leeds will continue to be without injured duo Patrick Bamford and Max Wober for the trip to Sheffield but there didn’t appear to be any fresh injuries suffered against Sunderland.
Farke will have to watch the match from the stands, though, after picking up a yellow card after the Sunderland win.

Prediction
Leeds didn’t turn up against Sunderland and when that has happened previously this season they have been unable to rescue results. That all changed in a joyous victory at Elland Road.
The dramatic comeback should fill Leeds with immense confidence going into the biggest game of the season but it’s hard to see Farke setting his side to go all out for victory.
They have the demanding position and a draw is more than good enough. A match similar to the goalless draw with Burnley wouldn’t be a surprise.
Prediction: Sheffield United 1-1 Leeds United.
