Leeds United and Sheffield United, only three points apart at the top of the Championship table, will face off for the first time in over three years at Elland Road.

After the second international break of the season, Leeds United will look to return to winning ways at Elland Road on Friday and solidify their place among the Championship's top contenders.

Eager to bounce back to the Premier League after last season's playoff final loss, Daniel Farke's team currently sits fifth in England's second tier, having accumulated 16 points from four wins, four draws, and a single defeat.

Their only loss came at home against Burnley in mid-September, but they quickly rebounded with two consecutive victories over Cardiff City and Coventry City, both accompanied by clean sheets. They then faced Norwich City, where they settled for a 1-1 draw after a late equalizer from Alan Browne.

After being relegated from the Premier League, Sheffield United aimed for an immediate return under manager Chris Wilder. Despite starting with a two-point deduction, they have made a strong comeback, sitting second in the table with 21 points from nine matches and boasting an impressive defensive record, having conceded only three goals.

The Blades enter this match with six consecutive clean sheets and back-to-back victories, recently bouncing back from a goalless draw against Portsmouth with a 1-0 win over Swansea City, thanks to a Josh Tymon own goal. They followed that up with a 2-0 victory against fellow relegated side Luton Town, courtesy of two goals from Jesurun Rak-Sakyi. Now, tied with leaders Sunderland and one point ahead of third place, Sheffield United will aim for a third straight win in this Yorkshire derby.

Prediction: Leeds United 1-1 Sheffield United
