Leeds United vs Sheffield United History

Leeds United are true English football giants who have achieved a great deal over the years, albeit their major honours have chiefly been accrued in the not-so-recent past. During the lengthy reign of Don Revie, who was in charge at Elland Road for over a decade, the West Yorkshire side won the English domestic championship on two occasions before he left to be replaced by Brian Clough. In 1991/92, Howard Wilkinson led the Whites to a surprise third championship, this success coming in the last season before the formation of the Premier League.

Sheffield United have won a host of domestic honours; their only English Championship title came in 1898, with the last of their four FA Cup successes coming a century ago. However, the Bramall Lane side have dipped in and out of the Premier League in more recent years, and they retain a strong home fan base, which is more in keeping with a top-tier outfit.
