Is Blackburn Rovers v Sheffield United on TV? Channel and streaming details for Championship fixture

Sheffield United are preparing to face Blackburn Rovers under the lights at Ewood Park.

Chris Wilder’s men were handed their first defeat of the season at the weekend, suffering a 3-1 loss to Norwich City at Bramall Lane.

They were in the driving seat for a period after Patrick Bamford cancelled out Norwich’s opener, but a poor second-half performance condemned them to defeat.

Blackburn also found themselves on the losing side, making the short journey to Deepdale to be beaten 2-1 by Preston North End.

Wilder said: “We need to quickly get over the disappointment. It’s a first loss of the season, I don’t enjoy it. It stung on Sunday, but we addressed it.”

Regarding his side’s defeat at the weekend, Sheffield United’s boss said: “I'm disappointed in the last 20 minutes, it really irritated me. It's not like us, I felt we felt sorry for ourselves.

“That was that. I thought we made it pretty comfortable for Norwich, they managed the game well. They managed the game better than us. The goals that we’ve conceded are really poor.”

Here are the key TV and streaming details as Sheffield United prepare to head across the Pennines and face Blackburn.
