Sheffield and West Brom square off in the Championship on Wednesday.

The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures, as Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion square off at Bramall Lane on Wednesday (April 26). The Baggies head into the midweek clash in search of a third consecutive away win as they look to move into the playoffs places.

Sheffield's dream of a fifth FA Cup title came to an end on Sunday, as they were beaten 3-0 by Manchester City, courtesy of a sensational hat-trick from Riyad Mahrez.

The Blades return to action in the Championship, where they're second in the standings and on the cusp of securing automatic promotion to the Premier League. Sheffield are on a run of five wins in six league games, with a 2-0 loss to Burnley on April 10 being the exception.

Meanwhile, West Bromw failed to move into the playoff places last time out, as they suffered a 2-1 loss to Sunderland at the Hawthorns. Carlos Corberan’s side were previously on a two-match winning run, claiming wins over Stoke City and Blackpool respectively.

With 63 points from 43 games, the Baggies are ninth in the league table, level on points with tenth-placed Preston North End and two points off the playoffs places.
