Sheffield United hosts Championship leaders Coventry City at Bramall Lane this evening.
Both teams had significant wins over the weekend, with Sheffield United defeating rivals Sheffield Wednesday in the Steel City Derby. A win tonight could enhance Sheffield United’s recent performance under Chris Wilder, bringing them within six points in a tightly contested Championship season.
Coventry comes into the match at the top of the standings, looking to extend their lead over Middlesbrough to five points. The Sky Blues aim for a return to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years.
