Sheffield United have already secured promotion to the Premier League, finishing second in the Championship behind Burnley. Under the guidance of boss Paul Heckingbottom, the team has picked up 88 points in 44 games, losing only 10 matches throughout the season.
After being relegated from the top flight in the 2020-21 season, the South Yorkshire team will return to the Premier League after a two-year hiatus. They will want to finish their season on a high and will hope to grab all three points in their final game of the season.
