Last updated : 15 May 2006 By Luke Thornhill
The Blades won promotion to the top tier of English football after finishing second in the Championship last season.

Leeds, who visit Scunthorpe on Monday July 24 (7.30pm k/o), have reached the Championship play-off final where they will battle it out with Watford for the final Premiership spot.

Two days prior to the Leeds fixture, the Iron can enjoy a home derby against neighbours Hull City.

The home fixtures come after the Lincolnshire Cup semi-final match at Boston United (Monday July 17) and the annual trip to Brigg Town two days later.

Meanwhile, the Iron will play the first game of their Ibiza tour on Tuesday July 11 (9pm k/o), and the second match will take place on either Wednesday July 12 or Thursday July 13 depending on the result of the opening match.
