Sheffield United: Unlike Middlesbrough's Neil Warnock, Slavisa Jokanovic will be happy with his team's midweek schedule

But his former club Sheffield United, where Slavisa Jokanovic is preparing to officially take charge next week, will be broadly satisfied with their schedule outside of the traditional Saturday slots.

United will make round trips totalling 1274 miles before completing their season with a home game against Fulham - the team Jokanovic led to promotion three years ago - in May.

The longest of those against Reading at the Madejski Stadium - takes place in November. The second most arduous journey - April’s assignment with Bristol City - takes place on a Bank Holiday; which should make it easier for fans to attend and also for Jokanovic to prepare his squad properly, with a 72 hour gap between that match and Good Friday’s return game against their rivals from Berkshire.

The others appear relatively straight-forward, logistically speaking at least.

United’s first midweek away match is set to be against West Bromwich Albion before they head north to face Warnock’s men a month later, on September 28.

After that, they face a short round trip to Nottingham Forest before, having returned from the Madejski Stadium, completing the 180 mile jaunt to Blackpool.

Preston North End, Millwall, Hull City, West Brom and Blackburn Rovers are all set to travel to Bramall Lane in midweek, with fans of the Londoners the most inconvenienced.
