Sheffield United take on Blackburn Rovers today looking to build on their Boxing Day win over Derby County.

The Blades will hope to make it a very happy festive period for their home fans, and manager Chris Wilder will also be keen to ensure his side are quick out of the blocks against what promise to be tricky opponents in Rovers.

The team news is in for the game though and Blades manager Wilder has once again named an unchanged team, albeit with the caveat of a massive piece of news relating to defender Jack O'Connell, who makes his 100th consecutive league start for the Sheffield side.

Signed from Brentford a few seasons back, O'Connell has developed into one of the finest defenders in the Championship, and his consistency and ability is underlined by this impressive statistic ahead of today's game.

O'Connell has played the left hand side of a three at the back which have drawn praise for their attacking style of play under Chris Wilder, and he will be hoping to cap off this brilliant landmark with yet another home three points today.

The Verdict

Wow. What an achievement this is for the Blades defender.

O'Connell has been superb ever since making the move to Bramall Lane and he continues to grow and impress game by game.

A win today, and potentially a goal for the defender would cap off a fine few years for O'Connell.
