00:00Leeds United play on Monday evening away to Sheffield United in a promotion clash

00:04with Lee Sobert previewing the tie.

00:07Oh well I think they'll approach it to try and win it you know I don't think there's any

00:10different and you know I don't think it'll be a case of sort of going there and trying

00:12sort of shutting up shop or anything like that they'll try and be the main protagonist in the

00:16game but obviously so will Sheffield United because you know they'll look at this you

00:19know we look at it from a Leeds perspective obviously and think well you know two points

00:22clear if they get a victory there it's five you know which obviously and you're right a lot of

00:25people will think if they do go there and win that it's near enough done I mean not done in

00:29terms of the title race but probably near enough done in terms of top two finish I still think it'd

00:33be a bit too early to say that you'd have to say it'd be looking very very good but obviously

00:38Sheffield United will look at it as a massive chance to overtake Leeds you know and they'll

00:41probably feel obviously they should be level with them already in terms of obviously it's

00:44only two point gap when they obviously have two point stops at the start of the season so

00:48you know they'll obviously look at it as a huge opportunity as well but that means they'll come

00:51out for Leeds as well so there's probably going to be gaps it's probably going to be open I mean

00:55it probably and I don't know he's famous last words we never really know but the Burnley away

00:59game it obviously feels a bit like that in terms of the magnet well very much like that in terms of

01:03the magnitude of it but I think going into that game everybody expected it to be cagey and a lot

01:07of people sort of thought beforehand it might well be nil nil you could see it happening a mile off

01:11whereas this feels like it'll be the opposite you know it feels like Sheffield United will go for it

01:15they'll go for the jugular Leeds will be brilliant on the break you would think as well I mean you

01:19know I'm not saying they'll have to play on the break because they'll probably try and force it

01:22themselves and just a very very hard game to call um I mean obviously we thought that kind of like

01:28before the reverse fixture Ellen Road back in October and obviously Leeds had a 2-0 victory

01:32and that was very very you know one-sided and really you know they did sort of show their class

01:36in there and it's going to be fascinating one because obviously there's a lot of there's a

01:39general big thought amongst a lot of people even a lot of other managers that Leeds are like

01:43comfortably the best team in this division but obviously the league table shows them two points

01:48clear but that's you know a bit false because of the two points stopped by Sheffield United and

01:51this will obviously provide a lot of you know sort of truer sort of analysis of that really it's um

01:56very difficult one to call Blades have won the last four Leeds have won the last four so something

02:00has to give from that perspective um you know Leeds I mean I'm quite surprised really how

02:04short they are their odds on favourites about even well about 10 to 11 which is quite surprising

02:09really to me when they're away from home but then again I suppose that does sort of like back up the

02:13sort of general feeling that they are the best team in this division. Meanwhile Graham Alexander's

02:18Bradford City sides maintained their promotion push with another win at Valley Parade. Bradford

02:24City they had another good win in League Two. I've seen them maintain a promotion charge looking

02:31for automatic promotion from League Two back to League One. Two goals either side of half-time

02:37from Antony Sersevic got them all three points in what was a relatively comfortable afternoon

02:43at Valley Parade for Graham Alexander's side. Their home record currently is what's keeping

02:48them right towards the top of the table although in fairness their away record has also been pretty

02:53decent as well. They're just showing a real now's the moment in this division.
