Sheffield United predicted XI vs Derby County as midfielder recalled and Tom Cannon starts

Sheffield United will be hoping to bring their 2025/26 Championship campaign to an end with three points.

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...
