The Blades are coming after securing a comeback win over the Welsh outfit.

This EFL Championship 2024-25 fixture take us to Bramall Lane where Sheffield United are set to host Hull City FC.

Sheffield United FC are riding high after a spirited comeback victory over Swansea City in their most recent outing. Currently leading the English Championship table with a narrow two-point advantage over Leeds United, they aim to sustain their dominance at the summit. The upcoming fixture against Hull City offers an opportunity for Sheffield to capitalize on their home advantage and solidify their lead.

Manager Chris Wilder remains determined to guide his team to the pinnacle of English football through direct automatic promotion. A strong performance against Hull City would be another crucial step in Sheffield United’s quest of returning to the Premier League.

Hull City find themselves struggling in the Championship, currently positioned 21st in the points table. Across 28 matches, they have secured just six wins while suffering 14 defeats, highlighting a season riddled with inconsistency. Their defence has been a significant concern, conceding 38 goals, which has hampered their ability to compete effectively.

As they prepare to face league leaders Sheffield United, Hull will be eager to put up a resilient performance. Securing even a single point in this fixture could provide a much-needed boost to their campaign and help them climb to a more respectable position in the standings.

Players to watch out for:

Jack Robinson (Sheffield)

Jack Robinson, the 31-year-old English defender from Warrington, boasts a seasoned career, having represented clubs like Liverpool, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Queen’s Park Rangers, and Nottingham Forest before signing with Sheffield United in 2020. Since joining the Blades, he has been a dependable presence in their backline, making 122 appearances and contributing seven goals. His versatility and experience have solidified his role as a key player in the team.

As Sheffield United prepare to face Hull City, Robinson will be focused on delivering strong overlapping runs to support the attack while ensuring defensive solidity. His leadership at the back will be crucial in helping the team secure a clean sheet and maintain their position at the top of the Championship table.

Joao Pedro (Hull City)

João Pedro, the 32-year-old Brazilian attacker from Ipatinga, has had a dynamic career, featuring for clubs like Atletico Mineiro and Palermo before joining Hull City in 2024. Since his arrival, he has made 20 appearances and netted five goals, proving to be a key figure in their attack. Notably, Pedro represented Brazil’s U17 team early in his career but later switched allegiances to Italy, making a solitary appearance for the Italian national team in 2022 after marrying an Italian citizen. His debut came as a late substitute for Domenico Berardi in a World Cup qualifier against North Macedonia.

Amid challenging times for Hull City, Pedro will aim to be a crucial contributor in their quest to avoid relegation. As they prepare to face table-toppers Sheffield United, his goal-scoring prowess will be vital to the team’s hopes of securing a positive result in the upcoming fixture.
