Sheffield United are looking to finish the season on a high after an upturn in form and performances in recent months under manager Chris Wilder.
Last weekend’s 1-0 victory over Portsmouth allowed the Blades to climb up to 15th in the league table, leaving the club just six points off the top six positions.
“We’re doing everything we can to go on a winning run,” said defender Tyler Bindon after the match.
“Everyone did really well from the strikers up top to Coops in goal. Getting a result at the end of the day is the most important thing no matter how you go about doing that.
“Hopefully we can start now. It’s never easy to do that so we just take it game by game step by step and we’ll look to do that.”
Sheffield United face a potentially season-defining six-game run, which starts with a home clash against fierce city rivals Sheffield Wednesday before further challenges against the likes of Coventry City, QPR, West Brom, Norwich City and Birmingham City.
But how do their fixtures compare to the teams around them in the play-off hunt, including Wrexham, Preston, Derby County and more? Here we take a look while giving every team a fixture rating difficulty out of 10.
5. Birmingham City
Norwich City (A), Millwall (A), Middlesbrough (H), Charlton (A), QPR (H), Sheffield United (H) Birmingham have a golden opportunity to build some real momentum if they can improve their form on the road. They've only lost on league match at St Andrew's and should be aiming for at least six points on the road from these matches. Fixture difficulty rating: 6/10 | Getty Images
6. Southampton
Charlton Athletic (H), QPR (H), Sheffield Wednesday (A), Norwich City (H), West Brom (A) , Coventry City (A) With the exception of Coventry away this is a fairly favourable run of fixtures for Southampton, who have improved a huge amount under the management of Tonda Eckert.

7. Bristol City
Wrexham (H), Swansea (A), Blackburn (A), Watford (H), Coventry (H), Leicester (A) An upcoming Welsh double-header is very tricky, not least with the (sort-of) derby aspect against Swansea who will still harbour play-off ambitions themselves. Coventry you would imagine could well have shaken off their blip by then and Blackburn may be lifted by their new boss. Fixture difficulty rating: 7/10 | Getty Images
8. Wrexham
Bristol City (A), Ipswich Town (H), Portsmouth (H), Charlton (A), Watford (A), Hull City (H) The Red Dragons have challenging fixtures against Bristol City, Ipswich and Hull which are likely to have a huge impact on the play-off race. Fixture difficulty rating: 7/10 | Getty Images
