Sheffield United host Bristol City at Bramall Lane on Tuesday (April 18) in the Championship.
The hosts have had a largely positive campaign and are inching closer towards a return to the Premier League. Sheffield picked up a 4-1 comeback win over Cardiff City in their last league outing, falling behind in the opening 20 minutes before upping the ante to secure a deserved victory. Sheffield are second in the league with 79 points from 41 games.
Bristol, meanwhile, have struggled in the league recently but are well on course to retain their top-flight status. They lost 2-0 to a floundering Watford side last time out and will feel they deserved more from the game but failed to convert their chances. The visitors are 14th in the league table with 53 points.
