Sheffield United were on course for an impressive away victory against Middlesbrough on Sunday afternoon before Chuba Akpom sealed his personal brace late on to level the scoreline. The Blades have moved into ninth place after going unbeaten through back-to-back league games. Sunderland looked to be on course for their second victory of the season on Saturday before a late header from QPR goalkeeper Seny Dieng levelled the scoreline in the most unexpected fashion. Alex Neil's side will still be content with their start to the campaign, having claimed one win and two draws on their second-tier return. 1:1
Paul Heckingbottom could hand starts to Manchester City loanee Tommy Doyle and striker Rhian Brewster on Wednesday night. Enda Stevens remains a doubt as he looks to shake off a knock that has kept him out of the last two league games, while centre-back Ciaran Clark is also set to miss out. Alex Neil will call upon Luke O'Nien to slot into the back three here after centre-back Danny Ballard suffered an injury in the 2-2 draw against QPR. The Black Cats have one more injury to worry about ahead of Wednesday night's game with Leon Dajaku also unavailable.
