Leeds United vs Sheffield United Predictions: Leeds United Line-up

Leeds United welcome Sheffield United at Elland Road in what is expected to be a cracker-jacker of a contest on Saturday.

Marcelo Bielsa saw his side go back to the top of the table after a 3-0 victory away to Reading on Tuesday. The Argentine will hope his team produces a strong display at home against the Blades and wins all three points.

Sheffield United are also on a high at the moment and will come to the Elland Road on the back of a 2-0 success over Brentford in midweek.

Team News

Kemar Roofe and Adam Forshaw remain out injured for the Whites. Other than them, Bielsa has a clean bill of health.

Probable Leeds United XI

Formation: 4-1-4-1

Manager: Marcelo Bielsa

Kiko Casilla (GK)

A clean-sheet at Reading would have given Casilla a lot of confidence on Tuesday. He is expected to start on Saturday as well.

Luke Ayling (RB)

Ayling has been a permanent fixture in the Leeds set up under Bielsa. He is expected to keep his place at right-back.

Pontus Jansson (CB)

Jansson will relish the physical battle with Sharp at the week. The Swede has to be at the top of his game to keep the Blades’ skipper at bay.

Liam Cooper (CB)

The leader of the talented Leeds unit, Cooper’s experience and positional awareness make him such a crucial member for Bielsa.

Ezgjan Alioski (LB)

Alioski has done well in a makeshift left-back role and deserves to keep his place in the team on Saturday.

Kalvin Phillips (CDM)

Phillips’ presence keeps the Whites ticking. He is a really solid player who never hesitates to stick out a foot to half his opponent from advancing.

Pablo Hernandez (RM)

Scored twice in the midweek victory over Reading and will be confident to deliver against Sheffield United as well.

Tyler Roberts (RCM)

Roberts has done really well in the last few games and will be the one to keep an eye on.

Mateusz Klich (LCM)

This Pole brings a lot of energy, intensity and dynamism to Leeds’ play in the final third. He is one of the first names on the team sheet.

Jack Harrison (LM)

Harrison is pacey, creative and lively player who’ll look to put in a big performance against promotion rivals Sheffield United.
