Sheffield United are looking to climb up the table

Barnsley host Sheffield United at Oakwell Stadium in the EFL Championship on Sunday, with both sides having disappointing seasons so far.

Barnsley are currently 23rd in the league and have only registered one win this campaign. Markus Schopp's side look set to take part in the relegation battle for the rest of the season. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Sheffield United on Sunday.

Sheffield United have been woeful of late. Slavisa Jokanovic's side have lost three of their last five games, and are currently 17th in the table. The Blades will look to bounce back with a win against a poor Barnsley side on Sunday.

Both sides have been in terrible form of late and will be looking to win in order to climb up the table.


Barnsley vs Sheffield United Head-to-Head

Sheffield United came away as 2-1 winners the last time the two sides met back in July 2019. Goals from Ben Osborn, Luke Freeman and a brace from Callum Robinson were enough to secure all three points, with Cameron McGeehan scoring a consolation goal for Barnsley on the night.
