Eyeing promotion: Bristol City (David Davies/PA Wire)
Bristol City and Sheffield United will meet at Ashton Gate this evening in the opening tie of the Championship Play-Offs semi-final.
The Blades, back under Chris Wilder's leadership, are chasing promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since they were relegated last season, finishing bottom with just 16 points.
They will be heavy favourites in the playoffs, though, after finishing 14 points clear of their next closest contender.
They were a full 22 points ahead of Bristol City, who confirmed their sixth-place finish on the final day of the season with a 2-2 draw at home to Preston North End.
Bristol are winless in two meetings with United this season, falling 2-1 at home in November before battling to a 1-1 draw in March. They snatched that result with a 90th-minute equaliser from Mark Sykes, but will require a win tonight if they are to move closer to a first-ever promotion to the Premier League.

Transfer roundup: De Bruyne joins Napoli as Manchester City agree deal for Nypan
Kevin De Bruyne has completed his move to Napoli on a free transfer after leaving Manchester City. The midfielder, who turns 34 this month, joins the Serie A champions three days after scoring a late winner for Belgium against Wales. De Bruyne was greeted by excited fans chanting 'Kevin' when he arrived for his medical and Napoli's social media posts announcing the deal included one showing him wearing a crowd, with a Napoli shield by his right hand and a sword to his left. 'King Kev is here,' the club wrote. Advertisement De Bruyne made more than 400 appearances for City after joining from Wolfsburg in 2015 and the Premier League club's preparations for a future without him have continued with an agreement to sign Rosenborg's midfielder Sverre Nypan for €14.6m (£12.4m). If the 18-year-old joins he is likely to be loaned out. Although personal terms are yet to be agreed with the Norway under-21 international on a proposed five-year contract, City are confident of sealing the transfer. Nypan became Rosenborg's youngest player at 15 years and 322 days when starting for Norway's 22-times record champions against Jerv on 6 November 2022. Nypan is in line to become City's fifth summer signing as Pep Guardiola revamps his squad. City have £100m-plus in the window after Tijjani Reijnders' acquisition on Wednesday, the Netherlands midfielder arriving from Milan for €55m, joining Rayan Aït-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli and Rayan Cherki. The quartet are available for the Club World Cup. City's first group game is against Wydad AC on Wednesday.
