Sheffield United have lost each of their last two home league games against Leeds United 1-0, as many defeats as across their prior 13 at Bramall Lane combined (W6 D5).
Leeds United have won each of their last three league games against Sheffield United, last winning more in succession against the Blades between 1990 and 1992 (six games).
Sheffield United have won seven of their last eight Championship matches (L1), with their other game in that run a 3-0 home Yorkshire derby defeat to Hull in January. The Blades are looking to win five league games in a row for the first time since December 2022.
Leeds United are unbeaten in each of their last 15 league matches (W11 D4), equalling their best unbeaten run under Daniel Farke (first 15 games of 2024). The Whites last had a longer unbeaten streak between October and February in their 1991-92 top-flight title-winning campaign (16).

James has scored three goals in his last four away Championship appearances, as many as he scored in his first 45 away games in the competition.
