Sheffield United v Cardiff City LIVE: Kick-off time, TV channel and score updates

Cardiff City head to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United tonight with their Championship status hanging by a thread.

The Bluebirds find themselves in dire straights with just four games of the season to go and this evening they face a stern test in the shape of the Blades.

The hosts have lost three league games on the bounce to jeopardise their own promotion hopes but Chris Wilder's men will no doubt be smarting after their late defeat at Plymouth Argyle last time out. Join the Cardiff City breaking news and top stories WhatsApp community.

Cardiff boss Omer Riza issued a statement to Cardiff fans prior to kick-off in Yorkshire to apologise for his midweek comments, where he labelled some supporters "clueless".

The game will be shown on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event, and you'll also be able to follow events in our live blog below.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm
