Leeds host Sheffield Utd at the Elland Road (Leeds) in the 30th round of the Premier League and the match kicks off at 3 pm (UK) on Saturday, April 3. Read our reasons for Leeds vs Sheffield Utd prediction and betting tips.
With Leeds' Premier League status all but secure for 2021/22 this international break offered Marcelo Bielsa’s side the much-needed rest. Bielsa has made quite the impact during his first season in the Premier League. Leeds have taken to the top-flight well and sit 11th on 39 points after 29 matches so far in their first campaign back in the division for 16 years. Meanwhile, Blades battled hard, but could not breach Chelsea's defence in their 2-0 defeat in the FA Cup quarter-finals before the break. For Sheffield Utd this was their last chance to salvage something from a miserable season, in which they have languished at the bottom of the Premier League. They are 14 points from safety with only nine league games remaining.
Leeds are on course for a brilliant mid-table finish in the Premier League after a thrilling return to the top-flight. While success in the cup competitions was washed away in double quick time, the league campaign has been excellent and exceeded the expectations of the majority of the fan base. Marcelo Bielsa’s side have at no stage looked under threat of being relegated and even flirted with the idea of an outside run in European qualification before a sticky patch across February and March.
They return to Premier League action after the international break, having beaten Fulham 2-1 at the Craven Cottage last time out as Patrick Bamford scored one – his 14 top-flight goals this season - and set up the other on the night. Coming into Saturday’s match against the Blades, Leeds have won more away games this season than at home. However, those victories, coming against five sides currently below them in the Premier League table, have been the bedrock of their 11th place and without the supporters, Leeds’ first season back in the top-flight after 16 years could hardly have gone much better.
On the other hand, after finishing ninth in 2019-20, the Blades have won only seven matches in all competitions in 2020-21, with former boss Chris Wilder, who had taken them up from League One to the top flight, leaving the club by mutual consent earlier this month. Fa Cup clash at Chelsea was only Paul Heckingbottom's second game in caretaker charge following Wilder's departure and the Blades had been thrashed 5-0 at Leicester in his first.
For Sheffield Utd FA Cup was their last chance to salvage something from a miserable season, in which they have languished at the bottom of the Premier League. They are 14 points from safety with only nine league games remaining. The Blades have also scored the fewest number of goals in the Premier League with 16 in 29 games. This was their 24th defeat of the campaign in all competitions - 10 more than they suffered last season and would be happy if the season ended now.

Leeds meet Sheffield Utd having previously won two of their last three league games against the Blades, as many as in their previous 11 against the Blades (D3, L6). They’re also looking to complete their first league double over their Yorkshire rivals since their 1991-92 title-winning campaign after celebrating a 1-0 win in September.
Leeds have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four home league games and are looking to win consecutive Premier League games for just the fourth time this season, though the Whites have won all four of their meetings with sides in the relegation zone by an aggregate score of 12-4 this term.
With Sheffield Utd left with nothing to play for but their pride we expect Leeds to come out victorious on Saturday.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
