Can Leeds close the gap on Sheffield United or will the Blades put more distance between their rivals?
20:00 Friday
Two sides battling for promotion meet at Elland Road as Leeds look to close the three point gap on Sheffield United.
Leeds vs Sheffield United Prediction
Leeds were denied an impressive 2-1 away victory against Sunderland last time out when a brutal Illan Meslier error allowed Sunderland to leave with a point deep into stoppage time.
The home side are unbeaten in their last four Championship matches, but their last two results have been draws.
Only a two-point deduction carried into the season is keeping Sheffield United off the top of the table heading into gameweek 10.
The Blades are the only unbeaten side in the EFL this season, having won six and drawn three of their opening nine league matches.
Even more impressive is their defensive record: Chris Wilder's men have conceded just three goals in the Championship.
