In the Championship, Sheffield United will play Middlesbrough at Bramall Lane on Wednesday, February 15.
The hosts are well on their way to an automatic promotion to the Premier League after a successful season. In their final league match, Sheffield prevailed 3-0 over Swansea City. In the first half, Jack Robinson and Sander Berge scored, and Oliver McBurnie came off the bench to seal the victory. With 61 points from 30 games, Sheffield is second in the standings.
In contrast, Middlesbrough had a rough start to the season but is now flying under manager Michael Carrick and are in the playoff spots. Three players scored, including Cameron Archer, an Aston Villa loanee, in their weekend 3-1 victory over Cardiff City.
Sheffield United vs Middlesbrough Team News :
Middlesbrough moved up the league standings after winning seven of their last nine games. They are now third in the table, just behind Burnley and Sheffield United, their next opponent. Having said that, Middlesbrough is ten points behind Sheffield, so if they want to keep their hopes of direct promotion alive, they need to win this game. At the very least, playoffs seem very possible.
In terms of team news, both Matt Clarke and Aaron Ramsey are currently out with injuries.
Sheffield United is the only team that is somewhat able to threaten Burnley, who is currently seven points ahead, with eight wins and two draws in the last ten Championship games. In any case, Sheffield United should be back in the Premier League next season unless there is a big drop in form or a surprise.
In the meantime, injuries have forced the absence of Jack O’Connell, Norrington-Davies, Rhian Brewster, Enda Stevens, George Baldock, and Tommy Doyle.
