The Championship resumes with a slate of crucial fixtures, featuring teams chasing promotion and those desperately trying to avoid relegation. Sheffield United's dominance continues, while West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland look to capitalize on their opportunities. Meanwhile, Plymouth faces a daunting task at Sunderland as they try to climb out of the relegation mire.
The English Football League is a relentless machine, with games constantly rolling over. Just 48 hours after the final whistles of a midweek Championship round, another set of fixtures is set to kick off. Sheffield United , under the guidance of Chris Wilder, have surged to the top of the Championship with a remarkable 18 wins, more than any other team this season. This weekend presents a clash of ambitions, with some teams vying for promotion, while others battle to avoid relegation.
Sheffield United, aiming for their fourth consecutive win, are looking to leapfrog Leeds at the summit of the Championship, at least until Leeds face Burnley on Monday. West Bromwich Albion, seeking to reignite their play-off aspirations, will host Portsmouth at the Hawthorns. Portsmouth, coming off two consecutive victories, are aiming to solidify their position and escape the relegation zone. Sunderland, just four points shy of automatic promotion, are hosting a struggling Plymouth side that is at the bottom of the table and facing a six-point deficit to safety.
