Sheffield pair aim for promotion

Both Sheffield clubs start the current campaign in League One and both will be desperate to secure a return to the Championship.
Lee Clark's Huddersfield Town are one of the sides targeting the Championship.United were relegated last term, while the Owls are in their second season in the third tier of English football.
The Blades have brought in Danny Wilson as their new manager to try and engineer a promotion charge, with the former Owls midfielder having made few movements into the transfer market, although much will be expected of former Derby and Motherwell frontman Chris Porter.
He has been plagued by injuries in recent times, but is 1213.00 to be League One's leading goalscorer in 2011/12, with the Blades 1.90 to win promotion.
At Hillsborough, Gary Megson's no-nonsense approach is hoped to be right for the job at hand.
The Owls finished in a lowly 15th place last season and the Wednesday faithful will demand much better this season, despite only a small number of new arrivals.
Republic of Ireland frontman Clinton Morrison netted a mere six league goals in 35 appearances last term and a much greater return will be needed to ensure a promotion challenge.
Megson's men are 1213.00 to secure a place back in the Championship at the second time of asking and 1213.00 to win the League One title.
