Sheffield United will be hoping to bring the curtain down on the 2025/26 Championship campaign with a victory when they face Derby County at Pride Park on Saturday lunchtime.
The Blades, who were beaten 3-1 by the Rams when they met at Bramall Lane back in November, will be looking to get back on track and sign off with a victory after recently suffering successive defeats at the hands of Blackburn Rovers (1-3) and Preston North End (2-3) respectively.
United still have an outside chance of securing a top half finish, but that will require them to scoop all three points and hope other results go their way. They are currently 15th in the standings, three points behind 12th-placed Preston.
As for Derby, they will welcome the Blades to Pride Park with ambitions of forcing their way into the play-off places. They must avoid defeat to stand any chance of finishing in the final play-off berth.
Here is how The Star thinks Chris Wilder could set his team up for the final time this season...

9. CAM: Gustavo Hamer
With his contract up in just over a year's time, it is not unrealistic to suggest the trip to Derby could mark the end of Hamer's United career. Leeds United are once again being linked with his signature and more suitors are likely to come forward. If this is to be his United farewell, he will be determined to go out on a high. | Local Library

10. ST: Patrick Bamford
Bamford has been one of the biggest success stories of the season for United. Recruited in November, he has chipped in with 13 goals in 28 appearances across all competitions. Spending time on loan at Derby back in 2014, he will be keen to leave his calling card against his former club and make his presence felt in his quest to finish the campaign as strongly as possible. | Local Library
