Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Sheffield United this afternoon.
Leeds United will be looking to maintain their good run of form when they take on Sheffield United in the Championship this afternoon.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side will head into the match against United away from home at Bramall Lane on the back of a 1-0 victory over Reading at Elland Road in the league.
Leeds are second in the Championship table at the moment with 36 points from 19 matches, just a point behind leaders Norwich City.
Meanwhile, United currently find themselves fifth in the league table with 34 points from 19 games.
This is how Leeds will line up against United in the derby this afternoon:
Meanwhile, former Sheffield Wednesday left-back Andy Hinchcliffe has spoken highly of Leeds duo Pablo Hernandez and Kemar Roofe.
Hernandez, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, has scored six goals and provided five assists in 11 Championship starts for Leeds so far this season, according to WhoScored.
Roofe, who can play as a striker or as a winger, has scored eight goals and provided two assists in 13 league appearances for the Whites so far this campaign, according to WhoScored.
Hinchcliffe wrote on Skysports.com: “Leeds have two of the most intelligent players in the division in Kemar Roofe and Pablo Hernandez and both will be capable of exploiting the space in behind if Sheffield United leave themselves too open in those spaces when Jack O’Connell and Chris Basham push on from centre-back and Stevens and Freeman come inside.”
The Sky Sports pundit added about Hernandez: “Hernandez has been sensational this season. We always knew how good he has been as an individual but the way he has responded to Bielsa’s methods has brought him onto a new level.”
