Defender Gaetano Berardi sits out the second game of a three-match ban following his dismissal in last week's win at Bristol City. Another defender, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, will play no part due to an ankle injury sustained during the midweek Carabao Cup defeat at Leicester and striker Caleb Ekuban (foot) is still out.

Live EFL

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has no new injury or suspension worries as his side chases a fifth win in six league matches. Defender Kieron Freeman is out after dislocating his knee-cap in the recent home win against Ipswich and striker Ched Evans is recovering from ankle surgery.

But Richard Stearman (hamstring) and Caolan Lavery (fractured cheekbone) are back in contention after both have been sidelined since August. David Brooks, Clayton Donaldson and John Lundstram are among those pushing for recalls.

Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Sheffield United and Reading

Under Chris Wilder, Sheffield United have won more games (39) and more points (127) than any other English league side.

Leeds haven't dropped a single point from a leading position in a league match at Elland Road since last October, a 1-1 draw with Wigan; since then, the Whites have taken the lead in 14 games and won all 14.

Billy Sharp has scored four goals in his last four league starts against Leeds United (two each while playing for Nottingham Forest and Doncaster Rovers).

Prutton's prediction

What a game we have in store on Friday night! Leeds should be feeling confident again after winning at Bristol City in midweek, and that should have helped ease the tension among the home fans ahead of this game.

Sheffield United could go top with a victory, and you don't doubt now that Chris Wilder will go there to win the game. It should be open, entertaining and high-scoring, but I can't separate them.

Prutton predicts: 2-2 with Leon Clarke to score first (70/1 with Sky Bet)
