LU vs SHF Dream11: Clashes between these two Yorkshire sides always contain some serious spice and despite no fans being allowed into Elland Road, the same is expected between Leeds and Sheffield Utd. The Blades are sat rock bottom of the Premier League, 14 points adrift of safety and destined for the Championship. Paul Heckingbottom’s first game is interim boss saw his side thrashed 5-0 by Leicester and his former club Leeds would love a similar result in this match. Whilst the Whites have struggled at home in recent fixtures, winning just two of their last six league games on their own patch, Marcelo Bielsa’s side should prove far too strong for a Blades outfit devoid on belief, ideas and confidence.

Likely Winner:

The Blades are now effectively playing for pride alone, though, whereas Leeds have a tangible target to aim for – finishing in the top half. Given Leeds’ strong defensive record at home of late, combined with the visitors’ terrible scoring return, we are backing a routine victory for the Whites on Saturday. In our LU vs SHF Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 2-0 win for Leeds in this match.
