Derbies in football are something special, matches which the ardent football fan around the globe treasure. Losing to your rivals is a disaster, but winning, on the other hand, awards you with the bragging rights and a proud smile on your face when it comes to work Monday morning.

Kevin Blackwell and Brian Laws have already started the banter, had chats, and have even decided to have a talk after the match in the manager's office. The duo are renowned for being good pals, but come 7:45pm tonight they'll be each others enemies.

The Blades boss is yet to beat Wednesday since his tenure at Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane begun as first team manager, but looking from a Laws' perspective, it is a record he'll like to be remembered for. The first double over their Steel City rivals in 95 years.

The lads at S2 are absolutely determined to trample on their neighbours tonight just to ease the pain from last season. Rectification is the main thing Utd want.

So then, who is it to be, United or Wednesday? We'll find out tonight as the whole world watch two of the fiercest rivals face each other.

COME ON YOU RED AND WHITE WIZARDS!
