    Leeds Utd v Sheffield Wednesday

    Sunday 18th January@12:00 | Elland Road


    Leeds United will be desperate to rediscover their winning touch when Sheffield Wednesday visit Elland Road this Sunday lunchtime. After a blistering run of form prior to Christmas, consecutive league draws against Blackburn and Hull have slightly dampened the mood among the Elland Road faithful.

    The Whites' comfortable lead at the top of the Championship has dwindled to a slender single point, injecting extra pressure into this Yorkshire derby. Leeds could potentially find themselves outside the automatic promotion places for the first time in over a month if Burnley beat Sunderland on Friday evening, and likewise Sheffield Utd pick up maximum points against Norwich City.

    The recent form guide suggest a tight contest. Over the past six games, Leeds sit just above their rivals in third, with 12 points with the Wendies a close fourth, trailing by a single point. However, despite similar figures, defensive frailties continue to plague Danny Rohl's side. They've conceded 40 goals so far this season, putting them among the Championship's leakiest defences.

    Leeds will be boosted by the return of Ilea Gruev and Junior Firpo. Although both are some way off from being named in Daniel Farke's starting XI, their squad inclusion will give both options and depth. Their only player currently on the treatment table is Patrick Bamford, who has a hamstring injury, and is expected to be out for another 3 weeks.

    As you know, I hate these early kickoffs. Usually terrible games and odd results so difficult to feel confident for this one.

    Much better to lose on a Sunday afternoon than a Friday night though. Less of the weekend gets ruined.

    Burnleys keeper has another man of the match display saving 2 penalties. He will win the league for them.

    Leeds on the other hand have Meslier in goals.
