This game is all about Derby County and their late quest for a play-off spot.

Victory over Sheffield United (12:30 BST) would leave one of Wrexham or Hull City needing to match their result to pip the Rams for that top-six finish.

Were the Red Dragons and the Tigers to lose then a draw for Derby would be enough because of their superior goal difference.

  • After their 3-1 win in November, Derby could record their first league double over Sheffield United since 1995-96 under Jim Smith.
  • Sheffield United have won five of their past nine league visits to Derby (D1 L3), more than their previous 33 beforehand (W4 D5 L24).
  • Derby have only lost their final game of one of their past seven Championship seasons (W3 D3), a 1-0 defeat to Cardiff in 2021-22.
  • Sheffield United are unbeaten in their final league game of their past six seasons outside of the Premier League (W4 D2) since a 2-0 defeat by Scunthorpe United in League One in 2015-16.
  • Derby have won 20 Championship games in 2025-26, their most in a season since 2018-19 (also 20). They last won more than 20 at this level in 2015-16 (21).
