Sheffield United still have Championship leaders Leeds United in their sights.
The Blades can go top of the table with victory over Coventry City on Friday night, as the two sides go head-to-head in what has all the makings of an exciting second-tier encounter in South Yorkshire.
Frank Lampard’s men have been in fine form themselves following his appointment and will hope to further solidify their hopes of a play-off position and a result at Bramall Lane would go a long way to strengthening those aims.
The Sky Blues have lost only four times since the turn of the year and have also tasted defeat just once in their last seven games in the Championship.
Back in November, an entertaining 2-2 draw was played out, with Sheffield United defender Anel Ahmedhodzic also sent off at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Who comes out on top in this one remains to be seen.
