Sheffield United will be keen to maintain their good run of form when they travel to Wigan Athletic in the EFL Championship on Monday night. This contest will see two sides sitting at contrasting ends of the table going against each other. While Sheffield are just one place below the leaders Burnley, Wigan are a place above the bottom-side Huddersfield Town. The three points on Monday will be important for both clubs for various reasons. Sheffield would need it to keep up pace with Burnley, while Wigan will be keen to get out of the dreaded relegation zone.
Sitting second with 41 points from 22 games in the EFL Championship, Sheffield United have been really impressive this season. Form is also on their side, with the visitors winning four of their last five games in the league. They will hope to continue that form against Wigan, however, the home side could be revitalised with the arrival of a new manager. In Kolo Toure’s debut in the Championship, Wigan Athletic drew away at Millwall last weekend. Considering it was away from home, that result would have been a welcome boost for Toure’s side. Wigan are placed 23rd with 24 points from 22 games.

Both sides will have to deal with quite a few of their main players being injury doubtfuls. Wigan will be sweating over the fitness situation of Ryan Nyambe and Tom Pearce for this contest. However, there is one thing clear, as they are set to miss Jason Kerr for the long term. The situation in the opposite camp is even more worrisome. Sheffield United could be without Rhian Brewster, Rhys Norrington-Davies and John Fleck. Daniel Jebbison and Jack O’Connell could also join them on the sidelines. Besides, it is unclear if Oli McBurnie and Sander Berge are fit enough to start.
