'Impossible to stop' Pundit assesses Leeds United and Sheffield United promotion chances

Sky Sports pundit Liam Rosenior has given his verdict on the promotion race between Leeds United and Sheffield United.

Leeds moved three points clear of the Blades in second place on Saturday afternoon as Jack Harrison's strike gave them a vital three points against Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road.

The win was made even sweeter as earlier in the day the Blades dropped points with Millwall scoring in the 95th minute in the 1-1 draw at Bramall Lane.

Speaking after Leeds' victory on Sky Sports, the former defender admitted that Leeds are in control heading into the final four.

'I hate football' Sheffield United fans react to crucial win for Leeds 

He said: "They are in the driving seat.

"Today you see Sheffield United drop points at home to Millwall who are near the bottom of the Championship. Every game is so difficult. It doesn't matter as it's about what Leeds and Sheffield United do.

"That three-point cushion is huge.

"For me, I am looking at Brentford away is tough for Leeds while Aston Villa could be a massive one but then have Ipswich who are already relegated.

"You look at Sheffield United, they have got Nottingham Forest which will tough, Hull who are still in good form and they have Ipswich and Stoke on the last day.

"It's a toss-up. It doesn't even matter to me who you are playing against. It's about what you do.

"Both of these sides have shown when they are playing at their best they are impossible to stop in this league. Whoever who enjoys the pressure the most will come out in the Premier League."
