Paul Heckingbottom’s Sheffield United will take on a struggling Coventry City side in this midweek Championship clash.

Sheffield United will travel to the Midlands to take on bottom club Coventry City on Wednesday, October 19, as the Blades look for their first league win in four games. Sheffield United are in second place in the Championship table, while Coventry City are languishing down in 24th - however, with two wins, one draw and one loss in their last four games, they appear to be the team in better form.

Last time out, the Blades snatched a last-gasp equaliser in a chaotic 3-3 draw with Blackpool. The game featured four red cards - Sheffield United’s goalkeeper, Wes Foderingham, was among them after he was involved in a post-game altercation with Shayne Lavery.
