It will be Sheffield United vs Hull City in the Championship on Friday night, so ahead of the game we take a look at some stats involving both sides.
Sheffield United Vs Hull City Stats Ahead Of Friday’s 8pm Clash
Sheffield United aim to move to the top of the Championship when they host struggling Hull City on Friday night.
The hosts currently sit second after a three-match winning run and only trail leaders Leeds United by just one point. Only a two-point deduction is keeping them off top spot before the weekend’s fixtures.
Meanwhile, the visitors make the trip across Yorkshire in search of three points in their own fight at the other end of the table.
Hull sit inside the relegation zone but have made strides since Ruben Selles took over as manager on December 6. Hull have picked up 11 points from nine matches under his helm after taking just 15 from the 19 games before that.

Hull’s Torrid Run Against Sheffield United
Hull City are in a torrid run of form when it comes to games against Sheffield United.
They have failed to win any of their previous seven meetings, which six times have ended in defeats.
The Blades have only conceded one goal to Hull in those seven meetings – during a 3-1 victory in September 2021.
So a Hull victory would come as a surprise and it would be a huge three points that would see them jump out of the relegation zone before the rest of the teams around them play.
