Sheffield United will host Reading at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night in another round of EFL Championship football.
The Blades have had a solid start to the season and have begun their push for promotion. They played out a 1-1 draw against Luton Town last time out with Oliver McBurnie scoring the equalizer for his side with a brilliant volley early after the restart.
Sheffield United sit second in the Championship standings with 11 points from six games. They will aim to continue their good form when they play this week.
Reading have begun their league campaign in a strong fashion and will fancy themselves as early promotion contenders. They picked up a hard-fought 1-0 win over Millwall last time out, with Naby Sarr scoring the sole goal of the game.
The Royals sit atop the league table, one point above their midweek hosts and will be looking to widen that gap on Tuesday.
