Both Sheffield United and Leeds United are chasing returns to the Premier League and barring collapse should do so automatically.
Nonetheless, a position at the top offers security from the chasing pack in Sunderland, and more prominently, Burnley – a win tonight will secure that luxury.
Leeds currently hold top spot but Chris Wilder’s side are only two points behind as both enter on a identical spate of form in their last five – won four, lost one.

Yorkshire table-topping clash Evening, and welcome to another Championship top-of-the-table clash with two Yorkshire sides gunning for Premier League existence again.
Both Sheffield United and Leeds United are looking to return to the top flight this season and currently occupy the automatic promotion spots. So, of course with twelve games to go we get to feast on all sorts of permutations tonight as we enter the home stretch.
Leeds have entrusted Championship messiah Daniel Farke to guide them back to the Promise Land. And though last season’s Play-off final defeat to Southampton left queries at his door for the summer, he has waved them away for this season so far as his side sit top with the most feared attack in the division.
Sheffield United have doubled down with their return appointment of fan favorite Chris Wilder – handing him a new contract in January and a boatload of players to help aswell. Wilder’s side have a particularly patchy record against their competitors; losing to Burnley and Sunderland this season and of course Leeds at the start of the season.
However, as they’ve shown in their recent run of form like Leeds, they know how to manage the sides a level above.
This is set up for an enticing affair. Kick-off at 8.00pm GMT with team news to come.
