Newcastle United Preview – Can Magpies bounce back?
Inconsistent Newcastle United suffered a 4-3 loss at home to Manchester City but The Magpies pushed the title-winners all the way at St James’ Park and they hold home advantage once again on Wednesday night when they play host to already relegated Sheffield United.
Newcastle United sit just one position above the relegation zone but the hosts hold an 11-point cushion which is just as well as they’ve managed to pick up just three wins out of their last 13 matches overall, two of which were away from home.
Home wins have been hard to come by for Newcastle as they’ve picked up just two victories from their previous 12 matches on home soil along with losing their last two on the trot to Arsenal 2-0 and 4-3 to Manchester City.
Sheffield United Preview – Can Blades go down fighting?
Although they sit rock-bottom of the Premier League and have already been relegated, Wednesday’s visitors, Sheffield United are not without threat as they make their way to St James Park having recorded recent wins against Brighton and Everton, with the latter being a 1-0 win at Goodison Park.
However, seven defeats out of their last nine matches sealed Sheffield United’s fate as The Blades will be plying their trade in the Championship next season but although they’ve also lost seven of their last eight on the road, the margins of defeat haven’t all been landslides.
Sheffield United have lost by 2 goals or more in just three of their last nine games on their travels and given Newcastle’s struggles of finding wins at St James’ Park, this gives The Blades a chance of getting something from this trip.
