Is Blackburn Rovers v Sheffield United on TV? Channel and streaming details for Carabao Cup clash
The key TV and streaming details as Sheffield United prepare to visit Blackburn Rovers
Sheffield United are set to visit Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
It has been a low-key start to the season on the pitch for the Blades, who have had to remain professional as off-field issues have dominated headlines.
They have played out goalless draws with Birmingham City and Swansea City in the Championship and knocked Mansfield Town out of the Carabao Cup in the first round.

The Carabao Cup may not be a huge priority for Sheffield United, yet the fixture presents an opportunity for Chris Wilder to get his side firing in front of goal.
He will also want to see his players remain defensively sturdy after keeping clean sheets across their opening three fixtures.
After his players picked up a point in Wales, Wilder said: “You give yourself an opportunity of winning games by being defensively sound. [There was ] not enough created on opening day to win but it's important we got a result as well.
“Our approach wasn't a negative approach in terms of the way we played and we restricted a really good team. We created the better chances, in my opinion, but I thought it was really important we stuck to the gameplan.”
