The Tigers are currently two points ahead of Southampton in sixth and only four in front of seventh-placed Wrexham after two successive draws.
The Blades have failed to win any of their games in March and are still searching for a victory in April.
- Sheffield United have lost their last two league games against Hull, as many as in their previous 24 against the Tigers (W15 D7).
- Hull are looking to complete the league double over Sheffield United for just the second time, previously doing so in 1952-53.
- Since Boxing Day, only Sheffield Wednesday (1) have kept fewer Championship clean sheets than Sheffield United (2 in 19 games); they are the only side without a home clean sheet in that time.
- Hull have drawn their last two league games, having only drawn two out of 27 beforehand (W15 D10). They last drew three in a row back in November 2024.
- Sheffield United's Gustavo Hamer has assisted the most goals in the Championship this season (11) – the last Blades player with more in a league campaign was John Fleck in League One in 2016-17 (16). Indeed, 10 of Hamer's 11 assists have been at Bramall Lane, six more than any other player has at one venue this season (Ryan Giles at the MKM Stadium for Hull, 6).
