The very first league derby between the two clubs to take place in January was way back in 1895 when the Blades ran out 1-0 winners at Bramall Lane.

The most recent January Sheffield Derby was in 2008 when goals from Akpo Sodje and Marcus Tudgay saw the Owls claim a 2-0 victory in front of 30,000 fans at Hillsborough.
