Chris Wilder has signalled his intention to give more Sheffield United young players game-time before the end of the season with the Blades on the brink of returning to the Championship. Defeat at Newcastle United tomorrow will seal the Blades’ fate, while they could even be relegated with victory if their rivals also pick up three points. Wes Foderingham is set to retain his place after coming back in for Ivo Grbic at Manchester United on Wednesday, and putting in a man of the match display in...
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits he is facing some big decisions ahead of his side’s trip to Manchester United tomorrow evening. Top of the list for the Blades chief is a call on his goalkeeper, with a number of Unitedites calling for Ivo Grbic to be taken out of the firing line after another unconvincing display in defeat to Burnley at the weekend. Wilder, who was scathing about a lack of leadership after that 4-1 loss saw the Blades take another step closer to relegation, must also...
Daniel Farke’s Whites offered a massive opening to autos rivals Ipswich Town as Friday night’s clash at Queens Park Rangers ended in a 4-0 loss for United’s heaviest league defeat of the season. The big setback left Leeds just one point clear of third-placed Ipswich in the division’s second automatic promotion spot but with Kieran McKenna’s side having two games in hand. The first of those arrived on Saturday evening at Hull City where a win would have taken Ipswich second and two points above...
Daniel Farke’s side headed for Monday night’s clash at Middlesbrough having taken just one point from their last three games but knowing that victory would send them back second, albeit having played a game more than key promotion rivals Ipswich Town.

Ipswich now have a game in hand but Leeds know...
Daniel Farke’s side fell to their first home league defeat of the season in Saturday lunchtime’s Championship hosting of Blackburn Rovers in which the Whites blew the chance to move back into the top two. Defeat for Leicester City at Friday night’s hosts Plymouth Argyle opened the door for Leeds for whom even a point would have taken them back into the division’s automatic promotion places, albeit having played one game more than the Foxes. As it happened, victory would have put United’s top two...
Leeds United cracked their recent winless run in the Championship on Monday with a thrilling 4-3 victory over Middlesbrough. Prior to their three points trip to the Riverside Stadium, the Whites had not picked up a win since they faced Hull City at the start of the month. Defeats to Coventry City and Blackburn Rovers sandwiched a 0-0 draw against Sunderland. Leeds are now four points off league leaders Leicester City and one ahead of Ipswich Town, who have a game in-hand in this fight for a top...
The main topic for Wilder to address is does he continue to play new
Sheffield United have been officially relegated to the Championship after their latest heavy defeat of a season to forget this afternoon. The Blades have long been doomed for the drop but could have staved it off for the time being with victory at Newcastle United, a prospect that looked to have more potential when Anel Ahmedhodzic put them ahead early on. But the hosts replied in the first half through Alexander Isak although the Blades will wonder how they went in at the break after missing a...
