The Whites are ecstatic following their magnificent 2-0 victory against the Blades in the Yorkshire derby on Friday night against Sheffield United.
Leeds now has the chance to start a run of form going into the winter, with Watford coming up next at Elland Road.
With goals from Pascal Struijk and Mateo Joseph securing three points for the home team on Friday night, Chris Wilder was perfectly justified in acknowledging that Leeds was the superior team.
Leeds now sits above the Blades for the upcoming weekend, and if things go well for Daniel Farke’s team on Saturday afternoon, they may still be in the top two.
The following match for Leeds is a home test against a Watford team that, after ten games, is in and around the playoff places—a far better start than many had predicted.
Huge blow for Watford pre Leeds with red card and derby thumping
Watford’s season-opening matchup against fierce rivals Luton Town at Kenilworth Road this past weekend was their largest yet.
But Tom Cleverley’s team wasn’t at the races; they lost to the Hatters 3-0 and were humiliated after Derby Day in front of a trip to Leeds.
The Hornets are further hindered by the reaction to Jacob Brown’s third-minute goal for the home team. According to Watford Observer, center-back Angelo Ogbonna seemed to walk off, which Luton social media seemingly mistook for a red card.
In the event that Ogbonna is out for the Leeds match, Watford will have a considerably tougher time winning anything at Elland Road.
They’ll have given it their best on the pitch against Luton, one of their fiercest opponents, so going up to West Yorkshire a few days later is a difficult ask. This is a double blow that will put them to the test.
Leeds should be sniffing around for an unbeaten streak under Farke after defeating the Blades, and this matchup with Watford presents a perfect opportunity.
