The final matchday of the EFL Championship commences this weekend and will see Sheffield United host Fulham at Bramall Lane on Saturday afternoon.

Sheffield United are seeking an immediate return to the Premier League and will battle for a playoff spot this weekend. They picked up an impressive 3-1 comeback win over Queens Park Rangers in their last game via goals from Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Robinson and Conor Hourihane.

The Blades sit fifth in the league table with 72 points and can confirm playoff football with a win this weekend, while a draw will be enough if Luton Town or Middlesbrough fail to win their respective games.

Fulham secured promotion to the top-flight last month but only just sealed the Championship title last weekend as they handed out a 7-0 thrashing to Luton Town. The Cottagers were highly clinical on the day with six different players getting on the scoresheet.

Fulham have had a memorable season and will be looking towards Premier League football next season.

Sheffield United vs Fulham Prediction

Sheffield United are on a run of back-to-back wins and have lost just one of their last six league games. The Blades have lost just one home game all year and will be relishing their chances ahead of Saturday's clash.

Fulham have carried out everything they were set to do at the start of the campaign and are now gearing up for the new season. The weekend game holds no real weight for the visitors and could see the Blades pick up maximum points.

Prediction: Sheffield United 2-1 Fulham
