Pick of the stats: Sheffield United v Hull City
- Published
Hull City will aim to cement their place in the paly-off spots as they visit Sheffield United on Saturday (15:00 BST).
The Tigers are currently two points ahead of Southampton in sixth and only four in front of seventh-placed Wrexham after two successive draws.
The Blades have failed to win any of their games in March and are still searching for a victory in April.
Sheffield United have lost their last two league games against Hull, as many as in their previous 24 against the Tigers (W15 D7).
Hull are looking to complete the league double over Sheffield United for just the second time, previously doing so in 1952-53.
Since Boxing Day, only Sheffield Wednesday (1) have kept fewer Championship clean sheets than Sheffield United (2 in 19 games); they are the only side without a home clean sheet in that time.
Hull have drawn their last two league games, having only drawn two out of 27 beforehand (W15 D10). They last drew three in a row back in November 2024.
Sheffield United's Gustavo Hamer has assisted the most goals in the Championship this season (11) – the last Blades player with more in a league campaign was John Fleck in League One in 2016-17 (16). Indeed, 10 of Hamer's 11 assists have been at Bramall Lane, six more than any other player has at one venue this season (Ryan Giles at the MKM Stadium for Hull, 6).
