Chris WIlder’s side are six points clear of third-placed side Leeds, who have two games left to play, but boast a vastly superior goal difference.Promotion will be confirmed if Leeds fail to beat in-form Aston Villa at Elland Road on Sunday.United boss Chris Wilder made one change to his starting line-up with Chris Basham returning in place of Martin Cranie. Billy Sharp returned the substitutes’ bench after recovering from injury.Relegated Ipswich showed four changes with Myles Kenlock, Cole Skuse, Teddy Bishop and Kayden Jackson all coming in.The hosts started brightly and David McGoldrick just failed to connect with a Basham cross in the third minute.Ipswich boss Paul Lambert was forced to make an early change when Will Keane went off injured, with Trevoh Chalobah coming on in his place.Hogan then went close, poking wide from John Fleck’s low cross, while Ipswich’s first effort came when Flynn Downes put a 25-yard effort wide.Hogan opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a deft touch from O’Connell’s ball in to ease the tension among the home supporters.Scott Hogan opens the scoring for Sheffield United4

Blades skipper Ollie Norwood saw his shot blocked following a corner routine, while a fine ball from McGoldrick found George Baldock but the chance went begging.Norwood went close to extending United’s lead three minutes after the break when his angled free-kick struck the far post.Norwood then turned provider, sending over a perfect cross from the right which was met by McGoldrick but the ex-Ipswich striker headed into the side netting – prompting a section of home fans to celebrate, thinking it had gone the other side of the post.Top scorer Sharp received a tremendous reception when he was sent on as a replacement for Hogan in the 63rd minute. He was soon involved, threatening to go through on goal before Skuse stopped him with a timely interception.John Egan headed over from a Norwood corner before United extended their lead.The goal came in the 71st minute when Fleck’s corner was met by a close-range header from O’Connell, sparking joyous scenes among the home support.Jack O’Connell celebrates after scoring his team’s second goal4

Ipswich never threatened to make a game of it, with the home side content to keep possession for large parts of the time remaining.Alan Judge did put a good effort on target towards the end of the match but his long-range shot was turned over the bar by keeper Dean Henderson, who was otherwise largely a spectator.The final whistle was greeted with a thunderous roar from the 30,000-plus crowd and despite the club’s appeals to keep the pitch clear, a small number of fans did enter the field of play.
