But next 5 p.m., it will not only be the fans of Blades in the hope that Chris Wilder’s side has secured the victory and grab the 20th place in the Premier League season 2025-26.
That’s because any remaining Premier League club will also support United against Sunderland.
As explained by football financing expert Kieran MaguireSheffield United who returns to the Premier League sees the rest of the Premier League right to a £ 39 million windfall.
That’s because Premier League Rules State Clubs are entitled to three years Parachute payments at relegation from the top flight – two years if they were banned immediately after promotion.
