Pick of the stats: Sheffield Wednesday v Sheffield United
The Steel City Derby is back on Sunday (12:30 GMT) as Sheffield Wednesday look to even the score with Sheffield United.
The Blades won the reverse fixture 1-0 in November and could see themselves rise to the top of the table if Leeds United don't claim victory on Saturday.
Alternatively, they may find themselves trying to return to the top two if Burnley are also successful on the weekend, while the Owls will be eyeing a chance to get closer to the play offs.
Wednesday are currently outside the top 10 but just five points away from sixth placed Coventry City.
- Sheffield Wednesday have failed to score in any of their last four league games against Sheffield United with Lucas Joao the last player to score for the Owls against United back in September 2017.
- Sheffield United are looking to register a league double over rivals Sheffield Wednesday for the first time since the 2005-06 campaign.
- Sheffield Wednesday have lost their last two home league games and haven't lost three in a row since losing their first three home games during the 2023-24 season.
- Sheffield United have won their last five away league games – the Blades are looking to win six in a row for only the second time in their history, doing so in 1892-93.
- Ben Brereton has scored six goals in his last 10 away Championship appearances across spells with Blackburn and Sheffield United. He's never scored against Sheffield Wednesday in seven games against them however.
