Desperate to make an immediate return to winning ways on Tuesday night, Sheffield United will welcome Millwall to Bramall Lane for what could be a season-defining contest.
Sheffield United
Starting with the hosts, missing out on what they had billed as a real opportunity over the weekend as they slumped to a 1-0 loss away at Oxford, Sheffield United know the importance of claiming an immediate response here. Passing up on the opportunity to widen their buffer in the automatic promotion chase, Chris Wilder’s men will be excited to make a return to Yorkshire here. Losing just a pair of their previous 11 Championship appearances – a run that stems back to January 24th – the Blades have registered seven points from their last three showdowns at Bramall Lane. Landing a gritty 1-0 victory when they met Millwall for their reverse meeting in south London on December 11th, Wilder will be desperately seeking a repeat performance on Tuesday night.
Sheffield United Team News
Not featuring since the end of February, Sheffield United are once again expected to be without former Everton midfielder Tom Davies here. However, Wilder’s side are hopeful that Ipswich loanee Harry Clarke will be able to get some minutes under his belt.
Making a second-half appearance off the bench away at Oxford on Saturday, Brazilian midfielder Vini Souza could be handed a full recall in the middle of the park. Notching four goals in his previous six Championship appearances, former Stoke marksman Tyrese Campbell will lead United’s attack.
Millwall
As for the visitors, while Millwall might have made an immediate return to winning ways over the weekend as they claimed a 2-1 victory at home against Portsmouth, Alex Neil’s men face an almighty uphill battle in the race to book a shock play-off ticket. Struggling to find much fluidity since their bright start to 2025, the Lions have failed to register consecutive Championship wins over the past couple of months. Hit with a 1-0 loss when they welcomed Tuesday’s hosts to south London for their reverse meeting on December 11th, the former Norwich boss will also have a real headache over his side’s extended issues on the road. Last seen on their travels falling to a 1-0 loss against Sunderland, Neil’s camp have lost three of their last four away fixtures across all competitions.
Millwall Team News
While Femi Azeez might have once again missed out on Saturday afternoon, the 23-year-old could return to Millwall’s squad in midweek. However, dealing with what has become a stacked injury list in south London, Neil is once again expected to be without the likes of Calum Scanlon, Camiel Neghli and former Sunderland star Duncan Watmore.
Bagging both goals against Portsmouth over the weekend and now notching three strikes in as many appearances, Serbian youngster Mihailo Ivanovic will play a leading role in the final third.
