The derby clash at Hillsborough had originally beenÂ scheduled for Saturday March 2 but the EFL announced today that the match will now be played on the evening of Monday March 4, with a 7.45pm kick off. It will be screened live on Sky Sports.

Last November the Blades and Owls shared the spoils in a 0-0 draw at Bramall Lane in front of the TV cameras.

March's derby will be the first at Hillsborough since September 2017 when Chris Wilder's men ran out 4-2 winners thanks to two goals from Leon Clarke and one each from John Fleck and Mark Duffy.
