Bramall Lane is set for a fiery Yorkshire showdown as Sheffield United host Leeds United in a clash with massive promotion implications.
Leeds have been on a relentless charge, reclaiming top spot with a dramatic comeback win over Sunderland, extending their unbeaten league run to 15 games. Daniel Farke’s side is hitting their stride at the perfect time, with Pascal Struijk and Joe Rothwell proving to be game-changers.
The Whites know another win here would tighten their grip on automatic promotion, but they’ll need to overcome a Sheffield United side just two points behind and eager to claim the summit for themselves.
Chris Wilder’s Blades have been equally formidable, winning seven of their last eight league matches. A hard-fought 1-0 win at Luton showed their resilience, and they’ll be determined to make Bramall Lane a fortress against their local rivals.
While Leeds have been free-scoring, Sheffield United have been clinical, grinding out key results to stay in the hunt. With the top two spots within reach, this matchup has all the makings of a Championship classic.

Sheffield United vs. Leeds lineups, team news
Sheffield United will be without several key players heading into this crucial clash. Oliver Arblaster remains sidelined with a long-term cruciate ligament tear, while Jamie Shackleton and Kieffer Moore are also out due to foot and groin injuries, respectively. Femi Seriki is another notable absentee as he recovers from a calf strain.
However, the Blades could receive a timely boost with the expected returns of Gustavo Hamer and Tom Cannon, who missed their last outing against Luton. Chris Wilder will need his squad depth to step up as they aim to take down their promotion rivals.
Sheffield United predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Cooper (GK) — Clarke, Ahmedhodzic, Robinson, McCallum — Souza, Choudhury — Rak-Sakyi, Brewster, Brereton — Campbell.
Injured: Arblaster, Shackleton, Moore, SerikiSuspended: None
For Leeds United, the biggest talking point is Daniel Farke’s suspension, meaning he won’t be on the touchline for this clash. The Leeds boss received his third yellow card of the season for an excessive goal celebration against Sunderland, forcing him to serve a one-match ban.
On the squad front, Patrick Bamford remains out until March, but barring any fresh injuries from Monday’s game, Farke is expected to have a full-strength squad available. With tensions high in this Yorkshire derby, discipline and composure will be key for the league leaders.
Leeds predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Meslier (GK) — Bogle, Rodon, Ampadu, Firpo — Tanaka, Gruev — James, Aaronson, Solomon — Piroe.
