    Championship
    Promotion Play-offs - Semi-final

    Where to watch Bristol City vs Sheffield United

    The game will be televised live on Sky Sports Football. Coverage starts at 7pm BST ahead of an 8pm kick-off.

    Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Sky Go app.

    Bristol City vs Sheffield United team news

    Bristol City suffered no fresh injury setbacks against Preston but Luke Mcnally and Mark Sykes will miss the entire play-off programme. Cameron Pring is also out after missing the final games of the regular season with a hamstring complaint.

    Chris Wilder’s team selection against Blackburn showed he had one eye on the play-offs as he rested goalkeeper Michael Cooper, handed a rare start to Alfie Gilchrist and gave minutes to Tom Davies following injury.

    It is likely that Cooper will return to the starting line-up alongside the likes of Harrison Burrows, Jack Robinson and Tyrese Campbell.

    Both of these sides have had some poor results recently ...

    ... I'd be happy with a hard fought draw and the same in the 2nd leg.

    The more they kick each other the better.

    Over 2 games does form come into it though? IMO it's who handles the pressure better

    Form definitely comes into it but not as much as it would a league game, agreed.

    Let the so called professional pundits crack on, I hope the Lads and Coventry players are watching. One set of players will be getting fired up to prove everyone wrong whilst the other lot will be getting over confident...

    Some top players there at tbis level. I still dont see how their team is any stronger than ours though on paper when everyone is fit.

    I’m much more comfortable mentally going in as underdogs, which we will be for both the semi and the final. It suits me and I think it suits us.

    Coventry just lost to Plymouth and Luton in games they needed to win ...

    ... they're not exactly flying tbf.

    Like you I'm happy to be underdogs without the pressure.
