Follow live coverage as Sheffield United face Derby County in the Championship today. An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.

Sheffield United have been rocked by a huge injury blow on the eve of this afternoon’s clash with Derby County after skipper Ollie Arblaster was ruled out with an ankle injury. The midfielder misses out against the Rams and was seen entering Bramall Lane this afternoon with a protective boot on his right foot.

Gustavo Hamer's goal was enough to earn Sheffield United a 1-0 victory over Derby and extend their unbeaten start to the season in the Championship.
