Newly-promoted Sunderland will be hoping to keep their unbeaten Championship record intact when they travel to Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield United on Wednesday evening.
It's been a strong start to life back in the second tier for Alex Neil's side, who have won once and drawn twice so far in the league in 2022/23, but they will reflect on Saturday's 2-2 draw with QPR with disappointment given they were two goals up until in the 86th minute.
R's keeper Seny Dieng's stunning stoppage-time equaliser was a moment few EFL fans are likely to forget – though Black Cats supporters will likely be keen to put it out of their minds.

Four points from three games is not the start that the Premier League-chasing Blades will have been hoping for but given they've faced two promotion rivals in Watford and Middlesbrough, Paul Heckingbottom is unlikely to be too disappointed.

Our prediction: Sheffield United v Sunderland
Sunderland have made a confident return to the Championship so far but this is their biggest test yet. Only Fulham and Middlesbrough won more second-tier home games than Heckingbottom's side last season and they put Millwall to the sword at Bramall Lane earlier this month.
A host of defensive injuries means that there could be opportunities for the Black Cats' in-form forward duo Ross Stewart and Ellis Simms, particularly with Alex Pritchard having made a fast start to the season, but with Dan Ballard ruled out due to a fractured foot, the visitors will be forced into a change at the back themselves.
While United still don't know who their first choice number nine is, it's Berge and Iliman Ndiaye that should worry Sunderland most.
Our prediction: Sheffield United 2-1 Sunderland (15/2 at bet365)
