Steel City Derby Today: Sheffield United Host Sheffield Wednesday With Relegation Threat Looming

After an 18-point deduction, Wednesday sit on -7 points with relegation looming should United win.

Overview

  • Kick-off is 12:00 GMT at Bramall Lane, with live coverage on Sky Sports Football in the UK and streams via Paramount+ (USA), beIN, FanCode and SuperSport in select regions.
  • A United victory could effectively confirm Wednesday’s drop after earlier results opened the door for their rivals to land a decisive blow.
  • United arrive in mid-table form, reported 15th on 42 points, after a 1-0 win sealed by a 90th-minute Andre Brooks goal last weekend.
  • Wednesday travel in deep crisis following an 18-point EFL deduction, a prolonged losing run and a league-low 19 goals, having not scored at Bramall Lane since 2011.
  • Team news points to Jairo Riedewald back in contention for United with Joe Rothwell suspended, while Wednesday contend with a lengthy injury list; bookmakers heavily favor United at roughly 1-6 versus 7-1.
