Sheffield United: Opposition Focus
Carabao Cup, 14th August | St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park
Sheffield United played in the Championship in 2024/25 and pushed all the way to the play-off final, where they lost 2–1 to Sunderland on 24 May 2025.
The club appointed Rubén Sellés as manager in June 2025, replacing Chris Wilder. Expect a change of tone and tactics as Sellés settles in.
Sheffield United have added a number of summer signings to refresh the squad. Notable arrivals include Tyler Bindon on a season-long loan, Louie Barry on loan from Aston Villa, and Djibril Soumaré on a season-long loan. These additions give the Blades more depth and youth options.
Key points for matchday
- They remain a strong Championship-level side after last season’s promotion push, so do not underestimate their quality.
- Manager Sellés will be keen to make an early statement in cup football, so look for rotation but also purposeful tactics.
- The new loan signings can be lively and may be used heavily in cup matches, which makes them unpredictable.
