Sheffield United and Wrexham kick-off the Championship weekend with a Friday night meeting at Bramall Lane (20:00 GMT).

The Blades have taken seven points from their past four league games and salvaged a 1-1 draw at home to Derby last time out, meaning another three points would take them within a point of the play-off places.

The Red Dragons are winless in their past four away games, scoring only once, and Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Blackburn left them 17th, though just two points behind the Blades.

• Sheffield United have won just one of their six league games against Wrexham (D1 L4), a 2-0 home win in October 1982.

• Wrexham have won four of their past six away Football League games against Yorkshire sides (L2), one more than across their 21 visits combined between December 1996 and April 2024.

• Sheffield United have won just three of their past 13 home league games (D4 L6), having won five of their previous six at Bramall Lane before that.

• After losing their last away league game 2-0 against Blackburn, Wrexham will be looking to avoid losing successive away league games for the first time in 2026.

• At 28 years and 78 days, Wrexham have the oldest average starting XI in the Championship so far this season.
