Theres nothing quite like a Steel City Derby to fill your weekend calendar. We might have to give this one a new nickname at this rate, however, perhaps a relegation six-pointer whilst I can still get away with it.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United Form Analysis

Now I will try not to be too harsh on The Owls who won't need reminding about their situation this season. If anything, Wednesday have been impressive in their league outings, despite injury setbacks and a high number of youth personnel playing significant senior minutes. The hosts are winless in their last seven league outings but are not short of pride and this occasion likely to bring the best out of the players in the blue corner.

As for The Blades, they have little to no excuse for their poor league peformances and league standing this season. Chris Wilder's side have lost three of their last four matches, conceding nine goals in this spell that highlights defensive woes. They have the quality to put things right here but it will not be easy as Derby days have often proven.

However, The Blades will come into this one with optimism, defeating their rivals by a goal to nil at Hillsborough last time out. In fact, they have not been beaten in their past three trips here so will have a psychological advantage coming into this matchup.

Harry Amass (Sheffield Wednesday) This is a name I have seen brought up a lot by Wednesday fans as the 18-year-old has taken to life in the Championship like a walk in the park. He will be eager to impress in his first Steel City Derby

Callum O'Hare (Sheffield United) Though it has only been seen in snippets this season, O'Hare has remarkable quality in this division and has proven that he can be the man for the big occasion.
