LatestFormer Leeds United manager makes bold Sheffield United prediction – the away fans need to step up tonightby Kris SanyalFebruary 24, 2025
In a matter of hours, Leeds United will take the pitch at Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield United in a high-stakes Championship clash tonight. The Whites have a two-point lead over the Blades and a draw will be good enough to help them consolidate their place at the summit of the Championship table. Sheffield United need a win to replace Leeds at the top and distance themselves from third-place Burnley who will be watching the game tonight despite what Scott Parker has to say. It’s a top-of-the-table clash that could go any way and Sheffield United will hope the Bramall Lane crowd will push them towards a win.
Leeds United have been fabulous over the course of the last few weeks and seem to have shifted gears in their pursuit of securing automatic promotion to the Premier League.
