Fortunately for Sheffield, Scunthorpe united finished with a draw against Walsall, keeping the Lincolnshire side in second place from the top. Bolton Wonderers, however, hosted Rochdale. After 82 minutes of play did midfielder, Felipe Morais score for the Trotters.

Bristol Rovers next travel to Stoke where they play Stoke side, Port Vale who are edging to stay out of the relegation zone. They last played in September where the Pirates walked away with three points after a 2-1 win with the help of a 63rd-minute penalty scored by Jermaine Easter.

However, for the Blades, they have a huge game ahead where they play Scunthorpe United. A match that will be on fans mind for a while. They last played each other back in September when Scunthorpe was at the top of the table. The game ended 2-2 including a red card awarded to defender, Chris Basham.
