Sheffield United will seek to continue their climb up the Championship table when leaders Coventry visit on Wednesday (19:45 GMT).
The Blades are 14th, as high as they have been all season, and just six points behind the play-off spots after Sunday's 2-1 derby win over Sheffield Wednesday at Bramall Lane, which made it 13 points from their past six matches for the Blades.
Coventry have restored a three-point advantage at the top and a nine-point cushion in the race for automatic promotion courtesy of back-to-back wins over closest challengers Middlesbrough and Saturday's 2-0 win at lowly West Brom.
Sheffield United are unbeaten in their past seven home league games against Coventry (W5 D2) since a 2-1 loss in February 2013.
Following their 3-1 win in November, Coventry are looking to complete the league double over Sheffield United for the first time since 2001/02.
Sheffield United have won four of their eight midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league games this season (D1 L3), scoring exactly three goals in each victory.
Coventry are unbeaten in their past eight midweek (Tues, Weds, Thurs) league games (W6 D2), since a 2-0 loss at Derby in March last season.
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has won all three of his home league games against Coventry by an aggregate score of 6-1.
