"Starting with the hosts, although Sheffield United might have fallen to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Middlesbrough earlier in the month, it appears that was just a minor blip for Chris Wilder's camp. Last seen over the weekend securing a 2-1 victory against local foes and arch-rivals Sheffield Wednesday, the Blades have won three of their previous four Championship appearances."
"As for the visitors, while Coventry might have signed off January with back-to-back Championship defeats, Frank Lampard's side have come roaring back over the past few weeks. Opening the midweek fixtures holding a three-point buffer at the top of the table, Wednesday's guests have shattered a string of records this season."
"However, facing what will be a real challenge here, Sheffield United know the importance of finding some much-welcomed defensive stability. Watching their FA Cup adventure come to an infamous end on January 11th as they fell to an action-packed 4-3 loss at home against League One outfit Mansfield, the Blades have recorded just a sole clean sheet from their last 12 matchups across all competitions."
Sheffield United welcomes Coventry to Bramall Lane on Wednesday night in a Championship fixture. The hosts have won three of their last four league matches, including a recent 2-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday, though they struggle defensively with only one clean sheet in their last 12 games across all competitions. Coventry arrives as league leaders with a three-point buffer, having registered seven points from their previous three Championship matches and securing a 2-0 away win at West Brom recently. Despite back-to-back defeats in January, Frank Lampard's side have demonstrated strong form this season with record-breaking performances. Sheffield United seeks defensive stability while attempting to claim a significant scalp against the promotion-chasing visitors.
