Sheffield United's next Championship fixture is a televised Sunday lunchtime kick-off at Bramall Lane against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Football, with streaming available via the Sky Sports app or NOW TV for subscribers.
Kick-off is set for 12:00 on Sunday 13 September. BBC Radio Sheffield will provide live audio commentary for supporters unable to watch the broadcast.
Wilder's call for perspective
Manager Chris Wilder addressed the team's early-season form ahead of the game. He pointed to the league table and recent results to provide context.
"We're six games in, we’ve won two, drawn three, lost one," Wilder said. "So everybody just needs to calm down a little bit."
The Blades sit tenth in the Championship after five matches, having accumulated nine points. Their most recent outing was a 2-1 victory away to Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday, with goals from Tom Cannon and Sam Peck overturning an early deficit. That win extended their current run to two consecutive victories, part of a wider form line that reads three wins, one draw and one loss from the last five.
Injury list remains
Wilder also acknowledged a challenging period with player availability. "We're scrambling at the moment," he admitted. "We've got to get through to the international break."
The club's current injury list includes Femi Seriki, Harrison Burrows, Ryan One and Tahith Chong. Their absence continues to test the depth of the squad as the fixture schedule remains congested.
Opponents close behind
Wolverhampton Wanderers provide a stern test, arriving in South Yorkshire one point behind United but having played one game fewer. They occupy 11th place with an identical record of two wins, two draws and two losses from their six fixtures so far.
The match represents an opportunity for Sheffield United to build momentum before the upcoming international pause. A full list of the team's upcoming commitments can be found on our fixtures schedule. The Blades then face a trip to face Bristol City on Saturday 19 September.
