Leeds United’s attention turns to Watford at the start of next week looking to gain back-to-back wins in the Championship after seeing off Sheffield United.
The Whites are on cloud nine after a stunning Yorkshire derby display against Sheffield United on Friday night, seeing off the Blades with a dominant 2-0 display.
The opportunity for a run of form heading into the winter months presents itself for Leeds now, with Watford up next at Elland Road.
Leeds leapfrog Sheffield United with comprehensive win
Chris Wilder was rightly admitting of Leeds being clearly the better side on Friday night, with goals from Pascal Struijk and Mateo Joseph sealing three points for the home team.
It sees Leeds move above the Blades for this weekend, while the chance to remain in the top two is there for Daniel Farke’s men if results go their way on Saturday afternoon.
Up next for Leeds is a home test against a Watford side that have started in much better fashion than many fancied them for prior to the season beginning, in and around the playoff places after 10 games.

However, Tom Cleverley’s men weren’t at the races, being thumped 3-0 by the Hatters and coming away from derby day embarrassed ahead of a trip to Leeds.
