Steel City derby: Police aim to keep Wednesday and United supporters apart ahead of match

Sheffield Wednesday supporters left the ground downhearted after the Blades won 1-0, claiming bragging rights at least until the teams next clash in March 2025.

A huge policing operation was in place, and largely spent the run up to the game keeping fans from each side apart.

Most of the jeers, chants and jokes came in good spirits, however some moments of higher tension saw beer bottles, cans and coins thrown at opposing fans.
