Sheffield United and Bristol City will get their EFL Championship 2025/26 campaign underway with an intriguing battle on Saturday.
Sheffield United will kick off their new season of the EFL Championship under their newly appointed manager, Ruben Selles, who replaced Chris Wilder after his departure. The Blades had registered a memorable victory over Bristol City on a 6-0 aggregate (3-0 in each leg) in the Championship playoffs under Wilder two months back.
The hosts had great form in their preseason outings; they registered four victories in their five friendly matches but lost to Nice in their last outing.
Bristol City, on the other side, had a great campaign in the EFL Championship last season, where they finished sixth on the points table for the first time since 2008 under the leadership of Liam Manning.
The Robins would look to continue their great run of form from their preseason; they just lost one match against Bournemouth while winning against Newport and Plymouth and drawing against Cheltenham.
