Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder expects the battle for automatic promotion to the Premier League to go all the way.
With 10 games of the Championship season to go the Blades are level on points with table-topping Leeds United and two points ahead of third-placed Burnley.
Wilder's side were five points behind the Whites just two weeks ago when Daniel Farke's men came back from behind to win 3-1 at Bramall Lane.
"This is going to be how it is right the way through, I've said all along it's an accumulation of points," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"We're old enough and experienced enough to know we have to get our heads down and work extremely hard for every result, and I mean every result, because there are no easy games in this division.
"This is the unpredictability of the Championship."
He added: "We have to concentrate 100% on ourselves, getting the job done and getting as many points as we possibly can. If it's enough, then fabulous, and if not then we'll have to address the next situation."
The Blades, who beat Preston North End 1-0 on Saturday, will go top on Tuesday if they beat Bristol City at Bramall Lane.
However, if the Clarets back up their 4-0 win over Luton Town with another home success over play-off chasing West Bromwich Albion at Turf Moor on the same night, and Sheffield United fail to beat the Robins, they will return to the division's summit instead.
Leeds host Millwall on Wednesday looking to return to winning ways after their 17-match league unbeaten run was ended by Portsmouth on Sunday.
