Pick of the stats: Coventry City v Sheffield United
- Published
Coventry City will be looking to get back to winning ways after suffering their first loss of the season at Wrexham on Friday. They welcome struggling Sheffield United to the CBS Arena on Tuesday (20:00 GMT).
The Sky Blues remain top of the table by three points over Middlesbrough. Meanwhile, Sheffield United are 22nd in the Championship after back-to-back defeats by Preston and Derby.
The Blades are three points adrift of safety as they head south to face the league leaders.
Coventry City have lost only one of their past 10 home league games against Sheffield United (W6 D3), a 2-1 loss in December 2016 in League One.
Sheffield United are unbeaten in their past three league meetings with Coventry City (W2 D1), last going four without loss against the Sky Blues between December 2007 and March 2009 (W3 D1).
Coventry City are unbeaten in each of their past nine home league games (W7 D2), last going 10 without defeat at the CBS Arena between October 2019 and September 2020 (run of 11).
Sheffield United have lost exactly half of their 18 away games in the Championship in 2025, winning the other half – the Blades last suffered 10+ defeats outside of the top-flight on the road in a calendar year in 2013 (13 in League One).
Sheffield United's Gustavo Hamer has either scored (1) or assisted (1) in both of his two league appearances against former club Coventry – he also grabbed an assist in his final appearance against the Blades for Coventry on Boxing Day 2022, meaning he has been involved in a goal in each of the past three fixtures between these two sides.
