Sheff Utd s form in last six Championship games reads DLDLDL
Hull in the play-off hunt but have won just one of their last four
Recommended bet: Match result - Draw
There is a Yorkshire derby on the cards at Bramall Lane on Saturday as Sheffield United play host to Hull City.
The Blades are only playing for pride and to stake a claim for their places in the squad next season, with Chris Wilder's team now languishing in 17th before this weekend's fixtures.
On the other hand, Hull are still in the fight for the play-offs and Monday's draw with Coventry has left them in fifth, but they only have a four-point cushion over seventh-placed Wrexham.

Team news
United boss Wilder remains without goalkeeper Michael Cooper due to injury, while Sam McCallum, Kavlin Phillips and Tyrese Campbell remain alongside him in the treatment room.

Hull's Regan Slater is still sidelined for a month due to an ankle injury, but head coach Sergej Jakirovic can welcome Charlie Hughes back from suspension.
Darko Gyabi, Ryan Giles, and Eliot Matazo remain long-term absentees for the Tigers.
The stats
United are without a win in six games in the Championship, with their last success coming at the end of February, when they beat QPR 2-0 at Loftus Road.
At Bramall Lane they are winless in four, while they have lost their last two games against Hull without troubling the scoresheet.
Hull have drawn back-to-back games, but have lost only one of their last five matches in the second tier.
The Tigers have drawn their last two league fixtures, having only drawn two out of 27 beforehand (W15 D10).

Prediction
Hull last drew three games in a row in November 2024, but that record may be broken this weekend.
The Blades look like they are already planning for next season under Wilder after another disappointing campaign, but they should be fired up and remain competitive in a Yorkshire derby.
While the hosts are winless in four at home, their last three defeats at home came against teams in the top seven in Wrexham, Coventry and Middlesbrough.
Hull have lost two of their last four away games and not scored in either defeat, so there is a sense that they are running out of steam at the worst possible time.
The visitors have only scored more than one goal in one of their last four and, if they remain shy in front of goal, the points could be shared in this encounter.
