Northern Rail employees are among workers from five rail operators due to stage fresh walkouts this Monday, Wednesday and Friday amid an ongoing dispute over plans for driver-only trains.
Northern has said it will run more than half its normal timetable on those days, but most of those services will run between 7am and 7pm.
The match at Bramall Lane, where Sheffield Wednesday will seek to avenge their defeat by the Blades earlier this season, is not due to kick-off until 7.45pm.
