Follow live coverage as Stoke City face Sheffield United in the Championship today. An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.

Sheffield United left the Bet 365 Stadium with all three points, scoring two goals without reply against Stoke City on Friday night. Sam McCallum got the scoring underway when he sprung highest from a corner to nod the ball in at the near post after the ball was flicked on at the back post.

Stoke City have lost their last two league meetings with Sheffield United, but have won their last two against them on home soil (1-0 in April 2022 and 3-1 in October 2022). Having won this season's reverse fixture (2-0), Sheffield United could do the league double over Stoke City for the first time since the 1996-97 campaign.
