Sheffield United moved up to the top of the Championship standings on Saturday, surpassing Leeds United, with the

Whites playing on Monday. Dominic Matteo has expressed his opinions about the pursuit of advancement.

Following Sheffield United’s resounding 1-0 victory over Luton, Chris Wilder’s squad advanced one spot in the

standings for the Championship title and automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Leeds will host Sunderland on Monday night. The Whites will go into the game in excellent form after defeating

Watford 4-0. Sunderland is unbeaten and has won five of their past eight games.

Before Daniel Farke took charge at Elland Road, Regis Le Bris was connected to Leeds. The Frenchman has excelled

in his debut season. Dominic Matteo shared his thoughts on Leeds’ prospects of promotion.

Leeds now have 69 points with 14 games remaining. To reach the required 90 points that often earn Championship

advancement, the Whites would need to win half of their remaining games.

Leeds, of course, finished the season with 90 points, but they were the first team to fall short of that total.Adam Pope

predicted that Leeds will win eight more games before Watford, and Matteo shares his optimism.

“We’re flying, but the others won’t leave,” he said to LUTV. There are some excellent players and managers at

Sheffield United, Sunderland, and Burnley, of course. However, from our perspective, we will continue to do what we

are doing.

“I know it’s a cliche to say you’ve got to take each game as it comes. But when you get to this stage of the season,

that’s what it’s all about,” Matteo continued, with the Leeds icon clearly confident they will go up.

It doesn’t make good reading for Leeds. Over the last decade, the two sides have only done battle on six occasions

and one of those came in The FA Cup, the first of the last six times the two side have played.

In those six games throughout the past ten years, there has only been one victory, two losses, and three draws.

Naturally, Leeds should have won earlier in the season if Illan Meslier hadn’t thrown the ball into the goal.

However, Leeds are in their best form since Farke took over as manager, and they are very good at home. The Whites

will get three points if Leeds performs as effectively as they have lately.
