Leeds United and Sheffield United dominate Yorkshire's Team of the Week, but which players get the nod?

LEEDS United and Sheffield United take pride of place with three votes apiece in our latest Yorkshire Post Team of the Week.

Six clubs are represented in our XI. And who is the ‘gaffer’?

Here’s the line-up.

Goalkeeper: Illan Meslier (Leeds United)

No outstanding candidate in truth, but the Frenchman gets the nod. Two decent saves and registered a clean sheet in the win at troubled Cardiff.

Defence: Jayden Bogle (Leeds United)

Unhinged Cardiff going forward with some buccaneering runs and earned a penalty.

Tom Anderson (Doncaster Rovers)

Bullet header got ten-man Rovers level at MK and manned the barricades when the visitors were a player light.

Alfie Jones (Hull City)

On-message performance on the biggest occasion in the Tigers’ season so far.

Produced a commanding display as the injury-ravaged Bantams showed real character at the back versus AFC Wimbledon.

Josh Earl (Barnsley)

Much more like it and was strong at the back as Barnsley secured a late triumph at Burton.

Midfield: Gus Hamer (Sheffield United)

Class once again with a sublime contribution - and goal - against Derby.

Kasey Palmer (Hull City)

Displayed firm evidence of just why he will be a very important signing for Hull on his first start. Scored a penalty rebound at Stoke and went onto grab a killer third goal in City’s maiden win of the Tim Walter era.

Vini Souza (Sheffield United)

A performance of quality and resolve as United secured three points at Bramall Lane.

Forwards: Wilfried Gnonto (Leeds United)

A creative force for Leeds in the Principality.

Kieffer Moore (Sheffield United)

Led the line well and was thorn against one of his former managers in Paul Warne.

Manager/head coach: Tim Walter (Hull City)

A victory at long last for the Hull City head coach, and how desperate he was for that.
