How to watch Sheffield United vs Sheffield Wednesday on TV: Date, time, head to head record and live stream details
All eyes will be on the Steel City derby between Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday at Bramall Lane this weekend
Sheffield United host Sheffield Wednesday in the second Steel City Derby of the Championship season.
The Blades secured a comprehensive 3-0 victory at Hillsborough back in November and are now aiming to do the double over the Owls for the second season in a row - a feat never previously achieved by the Bramall Lane outfit.
United are the hot favourites heading into the match after a narrow 1-0 win over strugglers Portsmouth at the weekend. They’ve made excellent strides in recent months during Chris Wilder’s third stint in charge, and have been described by the boss as a team that’s currently in promotion-chasing form.
Wilder’s men are now within six points of the play-off positions and growing in confidence, while Wednesday are already staring down the barrel of relegation after a run of 10 consecutive losses across all competitions in the calendar year, with the most recent being a 2-1 defeat to promotion hopefuls Millwall.
However, Henrik Pedersen’s men would love nothing more than to stage an upset this weekend and keep their Championship status intact for at least another week.
Here is a look at everything you need to know about this weekend’s game, including TV details, head-to-head-records and more.
