It’s time. The biggest game of the season so far for Leeds and a clash that could go a long way towards settling the top-two spots. Both teams are on top form – both have won five of the last six games, but Chris Wilder’s side are unbeaten in nine now. It’s going to be a tough day and we’re full expecting Marcelo Bielsa to name an unchanged line-up for the sixth game in a row. However, we think he could field a side that would destroy Sheffield United and take charge of the automatic promotion spots with two key changes.
There was only one player who didn’t shine in a Leeds shirt on Tuesday – Tyler Roberts. Brilliant against West Brom, he reverted more to the mean of his season against Reading and he should drop to the bench. Jack Clarke is back and ready to play, and he should be unleashed on the right, meaning Pablo Hernandez can slot into the number 10 role and really take charge of the game. The Spaniard has been on fire recently and he can put in another man-of-the-match performance on Saturday.
The other change should be Jamie Shackleton for Luke Ayling. ‘Bill’ had a good game against Reading but has been the weak link over the past few months. Shackleton can add another dimension to the Leeds attack and help blow Sheffield United away.
This is the side that we think will annihilate Sheffield United on Saturday:
