"The people at Sheffield United would have heard that stat so many times... that will change at some point."

Sheffield United have failed to win an EFL play-off campaign across all of their previous eight attempts but are looking to break that duck on Saturday (13:01 BST) when they face Sunderland at Wembley.

The 72+ podcast team were ed this week by new Reading CEO Joe Jacobson to take a look at whether Sheffield United's play-off fortunes may see a turning point.

"I look at the firepower they've got and in big games like this, it's one or two moments that are going to decide things," Jacobson said.

"There's a reason they were that far ahead, it's because they are a better squad, a better team."
