Sheffield United will host Coventry City at Bramall Lane on Monday (December 26) in the Championship. The hosts have enjoyed a largely solid campaign and will fancy their chances as early promotion contenders. Sheffield picked up a 2-1 away win over newly promoted Wigan Athletic in their last outing.
John Egan and Billy Sharp got on the scoresheet in either half before their opponents scored a consolation midway through the second half. Sheffield are second in the standings with 44 points from 23 games.
Coventry, meanwhile, have had mixed results this season but have their sights set on a playoff spot as they head into the second half of the season. They picked up a narrow but well-deserved 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in their last game. Team top scorer Viktor Gyokeres scored the winner from the spot at the death.
The visitors are eighth in the league with 33 points from 22 games.
