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.
