Bamford finds himself joint-fourth in the Premier League Golden Boot race on 14 goals and the Whites no 9 is odds on with some firms to find the net against the bottom of the table Blades.

Bamford is no bigger than 6-5 as an any time scorer and a clear 37-10 favourite to net first in a market in which the first ten players belong to Leeds in Bamford, Rodrigo, Joe Gelhardt, Sam Greenwood (all 6s), Raphinha (7s), Tyler Roberts (17-2), Jack Harrison (17-2), Pablo Hernandez (43-5), Helder Costa (9s) and Ian Poveda (10s).

Marcelo Bielsa's Whites are no bigger than 4-7 to take all three points whereas Paul Heckingbottom's Blades are on offer at 29-5.

The draw can be backed at 18-5 and Oli McBurnie is rated the chief Blades threat yet the Scotland international is as big as 21-2 to score first and 11th in the list along with Billy Sharp who is out injured.

Lys Mousset is next from a Blades perspective at 23-2, followed by top scorer David McGoldrick who is 12s and the same odds as Antwoine Hackford, Oliver Burke and Rhian Brewster.

No goalscorer is next at 13-1 but the bookies do not envisage that happening and expect Leeds to net at least once.

Even a 3-0 Whites triumph is only 25-2 but a 1-0 success and 2-0 victory head the market at 36-5.
