ENG LCH PREVIEW: Sheffield Utd vs Leeds
Posted Thursday, November 29, 2018 by PA
Sheffield United defender George Baldock is back in contention for the home game against Leeds.
Baldock missed the midweek win at Brentford due to illness, but has returned to full training and could be included in Chris Wilder’s squad.
Wilder, who has no new injury or suspension worries, is expected to recall former Leeds striker Billy Sharp and midfielder Mark Duffy.
The Blades would leapfrog their Yorkshire rivals in the table if they win in a lunch-time kick-off at Bramall Lane.
Leeds defender Pontus Jansson is expected to prove his fitness after a foot injury.
Centre-half Jansson, who has missed successive home wins against Bristol City and Reading, could start alongside skipper Liam Cooper.
Goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell is expected to keep his place after returning from a knee injury against Reading in midweek and saving a late penalty.
Fellow defender Luke Ayling (knee) and Gaetano Berardi (hamstring), plus midfielder Izzy Brown and striker Patrick Bamford (both knee) all remain sidelined.
