Can Blades Take a Lead Back to Bramall Lane?

Bristol City are making their first Championship play-off appearance for 17 years. The fans have been made to wait a long time, but could this be Bristol City’s time to shine? The Robins finished sixth in the Championship on 68 points.

Sheffield United missed out on automatic promotion, finishing ten points behind both Leeds United and Burnley. However, it was a solid first year back in England’s second tier, and Chris Wilder’s men could be the team to beat in the play-offs.

Bristol City took just one point from their final three league games and won only one of the last five. However, Liam Manning’s men bounced back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Preston North End on the final day.

Sheffield United’s form dipped at just the wrong time, suffering four defeats in their final seven games. Still, they were assured of a play-off place ages ago, and United will want to end their woeful play-off record this year.
