Sheffield United, under the returning Chris Wilder, look to be tough to beat to a spot in the top two this season. Burnley and Sunderland are hot on their heels but Wilder's side are tipped to join Yorkshire rivals Leeds in achieving automatic promotion this season.

The visitors have themselves enjoyed a slight uptick in form since the arrival of former Reading boss Ruben Selles, with results lately being mixed as opposed to downright awful. However, they still remain in the bottom three and have it all to fight for if they want to stay in the Championship.

Sheffield United are reportedly in the process of bolstering their already impressive squad, after agreeing to a £10m deal for striker Tom Cannon from Leicester City. The frontman has impressed on loan at Stoke City this season, but after being recalled back to his parent club, he will now join The Blades.

On the other hand, it was bad news for Hull this week as England U-21 Euro-winning goalkeeper Carl Rushworth was recalled early from his loan spell by parent club Brighton & Hove Albion. An injury to Jason Steele means he will return to the first-team squad on the south coast.
