Sheffield United vs Coventry – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Sheffield United welcome Championship leaders Coventry City to Bramall Lane this evening.

Both teams secured important wins at the weekend, with the Blades relegating arch-rivals Sheffield Wednesday with victory in the Steel City Derby. A win tonight would continue the club’s recent improvement under Chris Wilder and move Sheffield United within six points, in yet another congested Championship campaign.

Coventry arrive top of the table and with the chance to extend their advantage over Middlesbrough to five points. The Sky Blues are chasing a return to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years.

Callum O’Hare and Gustavo Hamer are expected to start against their former club, offering support to lone forward Patrick Bamford. The latter has reignited his career in Sheffield and has eight goals in 11 league starts this season.
