Sheffield United will be gunning for revenge when they entertain old rivals Ipswich Town.

The Blades were severely blunted in the sides' first match this season left red-faced after a 5-1 demolition at Portman Road. Now they are hell-bent on restoring parity in tomorrow's game - especially with vital points up for grabs to boost their play-off dream.

Town, on the other hand, will be determined to keep their grip on top spot in the Coca-Cola Championship. So it promises to be an intriguing battle between two of the division's high-flyers.

And, if recent matches between the two are anything to go by, fans should buckle their seat-beats for a roller-coaster ride.

The 2002/03 season is perhaps the best example, even if the sides did draw 0-0 at Bramall Lane.

A couple of months later the Blades pipped Town 4-3 in a pulsating FA Cup showdown. Then, a fortnight after, Town got revenge with a thrilling 3-2 success in the League at Portman Road.
