After impressing everybody with the way they embraced the challenge of life in the top-flight last time out, it has been a struggle for Sheffield United this time around, the Blades currently sitting second-bottom after three straight defeats.

By contrast, Leeds United - buoyed by being back in the Premier League for the first time in 16 years, have got off to a relative flier, picking up two wins from their first three games.
