New date confirmed for Sheffield United’s Neil Warnock reunion at Huddersfield Town

Sheffield United’s reunion with Neil Warnock will be their penultimate game of the Championship season after the trip to Huddersfield Town was rearranged.

United were originally scheduled to travel to their West Yorkshire rivals on April 22, but will now instead face Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley that weekend following their dramatic victory over Blackburn Rovers at Bramall Lane on Sunday afternoon.

The Huddersfield game has now been rescheduled to Wednesday, May 3, kicking off at 7.45pm and could be a vital game in United’s promotion hopes. Their final game of the season comes the following Monday, away at Birmingham City.

Town’s season could either be dead and buried or very much alive by that stage, too. They are third bottom and currently three points adrift of another of Warnock’s former clubs in Cardiff City - who have a game in hand, after their weekend game against Rotherham United was abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch.
