Sheffield United host Middlesbrough tonight in a huge clash in the Sky Bet Championship.

Boro beat the Blades 3-0 in the reverse fixture back in August, but now the two clubs are well in their stride, with promotion in their sights.

The pair have top-two ambitions, with the race for automatic promotion really starting to gather pace now.

Ahead of the clash at Bramall Lane, Chris Wilder has issued a passionate call for everybody associated with the Blades to pull together.

“Now is the time to be more together than ever before,” Wilder told the club’s official media.

“This needs to be more than an individual effort, more than a team effort.  

“It needs to be a whole club push to ensure we give it the best possible shot of reaching our goal.” 

After watching his side throw away a three-goal lead at Aston Villa last Friday, Wilder will be hoping for a reaction tonight.

And, the Bramall Lane faithful are clearly behind him, responding in their numbers to his message.

Here is a look at the reaction, which included a nice touch from a member of Wilder’s playing squad…
