Chris Wilder’s team, returning to the Championship after a disappointing season in the Premier League where Sheffield United finished last with a meager 16 points, shows serious ambitions for a return to the top flight. In the current campaign, the team occupies second place in the standings, trailing the leader, Leeds, only on goal difference.
Sheffield United remained unbeaten in the Championship for a long time, but then suffered defeats in away matches against Leeds (0:2) and Middlesbrough (0:1). However, the Blades quickly returned to winning ways. In the last round, the team secured a 3:0 victory over Oxford United at home. This win marked their fourth in the last five matches.
Sunderland, on the other hand, is having an excellent season and not long ago occupied the top spot in the Championship standings. However, a series of draws has pushed the Black Cats down to fourth place.
In 17 rounds, the team has lost only twice and won 9 times. They are two points behind the leading Leeds. In the last round, Sunderland hosted West Bromwich at home and could only manage a 0-0 draw. This draw became their fifth consecutive draw in the Championship.
