2024-25 Sky Bet Championship: Week 15 – Sunday

Sheffield United host Sheffield Wednesday at Bramall Lane in the Steel City Derby.

Victory would lift Sheffield Utd up to second unless can win by four goals or more, which would in-turn put them top of the table.

Sheffield Wednesday can go 11th with a win if Swansea fail to win elsewhere.

 

Team News

Kieffer Moore is a doubt for Sheffield Utd after he suffered a calf injury in their 2-1 win at Bristol City.

Rhian Brewster (hamstring) is unlikely to be available.

Sheffield Wednesday have no fresh injury concerns following their win over Norwich in midweek.

Nathaniel Chalobah (muscle) and Michael Ihiekwe (Achilles) are both ruled out.

 

When is Kick-Off?

Sheffield Utd host Sheffield Wednesday at Bramall Lane on Sunday 10 November at 12:30pm GMT, live on Sky Sports in the UK.

Prediction

Following a late comeback win at Bristol City deserving of their maturity in how they fought back amidst wasted chances for much of that game, Sheffield Utd should feel confident especially given their home defensive record.

Sheffield Wednesday might be mid-table but will be brimming with confidence following a clinical win over Norwich, plus have won their last two away games from behind but will need to be ruthless here though.

The last three Steel City derbies though all finished goalless but this time round, I can see both teams scoring but the Blades should have the edge if there is a winner.

Prediction: Sheffield United 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday

Result: Sheffield United 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday
