Blackburn will hope to secure their Championship status for another season when they visit Sheffield United on Wednesday night (kick-off 19:45 BST).

Rovers are 21st and five points clear of 22nd-placed Oxford United with two games to play, while the U's have three fixtures remaining.

If Blackburn win and Oxford fail to do so at home to Wrexham, Michael O'Neill's side will be safe from relegation.

Blackburn have lost just one of their past seven games (W2 D4), while the Blades, who cannot reach the play-offs or go down, have won two on the bounce to recover from a six-match winless run (D3 L3).

Sheffield United are unbeaten in their previous seven home league games against Blackburn (W5 D2) since a 2-1 loss in January 1994 in the Premier League.

Blackburn have lost six of their past nine league games against Sheffield United (W2 D1), going down 3-1 at Ewood Park in this season's reverse fixture.

Sheffield United have both scored (20 goals) and conceded (15) in each of their past 10 home league games, their longest run since November 1970 (also 10). The Blades last did so in 11 straight home league matches in August 1954.

Blackburn Rovers haven't lost their final away league game in any of the previous five seasons (W3 D2) since a 2-3 defeat at Luton in 2019-20. Their final away match of last season was a 1-1 draw at Sheffield United.

Chris Wilder has lost none of his five league meetings with Blackburn as Sheffield United manager (W4 D1); his only league defeat to Rovers came as Middlesbrough boss in January 2022 (0-1).
