A big match is set to take place at Bramall Lane Stadium tonight with Sheffield United set to take on Leeds United.

A win for the Blades would see them moving to the top of the Championship table, yet both teams head into the 8pm match in strong positions as they have both won each of their last four matches.

Dominic Picksley, a Sports Page Editor for PA Sport said: “Daniel Farke’s side are unbeaten in 15 league games and two points clear of the Blades at the summit ahead of one of the most eagerly-anticipated fixtures of the campaign.”

He said this match “should not disappoint as you’d expect both sides to go hell for leather.”

Chris Wilder said he believes his team has everything it takes to achieve promotion back to the Premier League and win tonight’s game.

Dominic Picksley said: “The Whites hold something of an Indian sign over their near-neighbours after tasting success in the last three encounters between the two fierce rivals separated by the M1, while the home side will, in turn, be full of confidence after stringing four successive victories together.”

Farke has labelled tonight’s match as their “toughest of the season”, while also praising “unbelievable” former Blade Jayden Bogle, who has played a significant role at Elland Road since making the switch in the summer.

He said that former players “have a habit of haunting old clubs on their returns to their old stomping grounds, so many eyes will be on the 24-year-old who Farke declared “one of the best signings of the summer.”

There is a lot of anticipation ahead of tonight’s game, with so much at stake and both managers confident of their team’s ability it is hard to say what the outcome will be.
