Sheffield United will be hoping to build on Sunday’s Steel City derby triumph over Sheffield Wednesday when they take on Championship leaders Coventry City at Bramall Lane this evening.
The Blades, who are unbeaten in their last seven home games against the Sky Blues, got the better of their arch rivals via goals from Patrick Bamford and Harrison Burrows, sealing a 2-1 win.
That clinched back-to-back victories Chris Wilder’s troops, who will now be hoping to record a third successive Championship win for only the second time this season. The only negative from the win over the Owls was the sending-off of Kalvin Phillips, meaning he will start a three-game ban this evening.
With that in mind, here is how we think the Blades could line up for the visit of Frank Lampard’s side:
9. CAM: Callum O'Hare
Widely considered as United's best player this season, O'Hare will be hoping to start and leave his calling card against his former club. For similar reasons to Brooks, United need their best players on the pitch for this one. | Jess Hornby/Getty Images. Photo: Jess Hornby/Getty Images.
10. LM: Gustavo Hamer
Hamer is another player who will be going up against his former club this evening. The 28-year-old often pulled the strings in Coventry colours, creating lasting memories, but he will be out to derail their title charge this evening. He is a guaranteed starter on the left flank amid his recent form. He has nine assists to his name in the Championship this season after a run of six in his last six games. | Jess Hornby/Getty Images. Photo: Jess Hornby/Getty Images.
11. ST: Patrick Bamford
Bamford scored his eighth goal in 16 Championship appearances for the Blades on Sunday, meaning he will be confident of keeping his place up front. Having seen the chance to join Coventry earlier this season snatched away from him prior to joining United, he will be keen to show them what they missed out on. | Harriet Massey/Getty Images.
