Blackburn - Sheffield United
Last updated: Today, at Blackburn seek revenge in quick-fire rematch
Blackburn Rovers will be eager to settle the score when they welcome Sheffield United to Ewood Park on 8 September 2026 for this Championship matchday 6 clash. The hosts are looking to bounce back from a difficult run, having suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Preston North End in their most recent outing. With Balazs Toth and Harry Pickering sidelined through injury, the expected XI featuring Andri Gudjohnsen and Oladapo Afolayan faces a significant test against a side that recently got the better of them.
Sheffield United arrive looking to regain momentum after a 3-1 loss to Norwich City stalled their progress. The visitors, who will be without the injured Femi Seriki, previously secured a 2-1 victory over Blackburn in the EFL Cup on 25 August 2026. With Tyrese Campbell and Ben Brereton Diaz expected to lead the line, Sheffield United aim to replicate that recent success in this league encounter.
