Sheffield United hosts Leeds United in round 3 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, September 27th at Bramall Lane (Sheffield)
Sheffield had one of the best defensive lines in the Premier League, but this was Sheffield of the 2019-20 season. In large part, the Blades owe their credit to Dean Henderson, who made brilliant saves after unstoppable shots, but the goalkeeper had already left the team. It is also worth noting that Wilder's men lost all their shape and cohesion during the coronapause, showing very bad defensive actions after the resumption of the championship. For example, the Blades conceded in 11 of the last 13 official matches, and 6 out of 13 cases ended with more than one goal conceded per game. And Sheffield has already conceded three goals in two matches of the new season (against Wolverhampton and Aston Villa).

Leeds United is celebrating its long-awaited return to the Premier League in a fantastic way. Marcelo Bielsa perfected his attacking model to such an extent that the newcomers to the top echelon of local football scored seven goals in two starting rounds, sending three goals into the net of the reigning champion and four more in the victorious match against Fulham. Leeds has scored in all of its last 11 games played and has certainly excelled in all but the first game since the end of the quarantine. Since then, the Peacocks have only made progress - they scored at least (!) three times in each of the last four official games.
The Blades will host such an attacking team without their best defender Egan. I will recall that Sheffield started the new season of the Premier League with two defeats in two matches, so its psychological condition is far from perfect. Shapes of teams are very different, and I make another bet on the scoring of Bielsa’s team. Leeds is likely to score at least once, but given its crazy intensity in the attack, we may well see more goals preformed by the Peacocks.
Prediction for the match: Leeds United to score over 1.0 goal
