Sheffield United vs Leeds Prediction
- Sheffield United had Anel Ahmedhodzic to thank last Saturday as his late goal earned the Blades all three points against Championship basement boys Luton.
- The Blades have been far from convincing in their performances lately but continue to grind out results, winning seven of their last eight league games.
- Unfortunately for Chris Wilder's men, they face a Leeds side riding the crest of a wave. The Whites are unbeaten in 15 Championship outings ahead of this promotion race six-pointer and moved a step closer to returning to the Premier League after Pascal Struijk's brace saw off Sunderland last Monday.

Matches between the top sides in the Championship have produced some card fests this season and Leeds vs Sunderland last week was no different with 10 cards being produced.
Leeds’ matches against top-six opponents this season have seen card totals of 3, 6, 4, 3, 6, 9, 4, and 10. Meanwhile, Sheffield, who have the seventh-worst discipline record in the league, have picked up 3, 6, 5, 10, 5, 4, and 3 cards in their games against the current top six.
With that in mind Bogle looks like a good pick. He has nine yellows this season and one red card and will face the challenge of containing Burrows who is Sheffield's second most fouled played and Hamer who draws an average of one foul a game.
Souza averages 1.9 fouls a game and has eight yellows, he was booked in the reverse fixture and will have Aaronson who draws an average of 1.5 fouls per game, Tanaka who draws 1.3 and Ampadu who draws 1.2 fouls, so he should be kept busy.
