Sheffield United have entered must-win territory ahead of their Good Friday meeting with Stoke City, following a dismal run of three straight defeats. Chris Wilder’s side have dropped from first to third in the blink of an eye and are now five points adrift of Leeds United and Burnley, but there are still plenty more points to play for.
The Blades can close the gap on Leeds to two points with victory over Cardiff City before the West Yorkshire side travel to Oxford - a fixture United fans know will be no walkover. Wilder’s side then have the chance to take points directly from a promotion rival when they go to Burnley on Easter Monday.
There is still so much to play for and even if United do finish third, the play-offs offer another route back to the Premier League. And with that in mind, The Star asked Artificial Intelligence tool Grok to predict not only the final Championship table, but who between third and sixth will win at Wembley...
