Sheffield United are flying high in the opening weeks of the season, and sit on the edge of the top four places with a third of the season gone. The Blades are defying the odds week-by-week, but could they shock the footballing world and qualify for the Champions League? Check the bookies’ odds out below:

The bookmakers clearly aren't convinced by Sheffield United's electric start yet, as they have them pegged below teams like Brighton and Crystal Palace in the race for a top four finish. That would of course be a dream for Chris Wilder, but he will be happy to keep plugging away below the radar. Photo: Stephen Pond
