Sheffield United Preview – Can the Blades make it back-to-back wins?
Slavisa Jokanovic had a tough time at Sheffield United and left Bramall Lane in the week, being replaced by the familiar face of Paul Heckingbottom. Dealing with relegation is never easy, and the Blades have found it particularly hard at the start of this campaign. Overall, United have won six, drawn five and lost eight.
After two draws and two defeats from four, Sheffield United picked up a huge three points in midweek. It was a tight and tense game with Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium, but Jayden Bogle’s second-half effort was enough for a 1-0 victory.
The Yorkshire club have taken just one point from their last three home games, losing to Millwall and Blackpool and drawing with Coventry City. Heckingbottom could certainly do with a home win here.
Bristol City Preview – Can the Robins return to Bristol with a positive result?
Nigel Pearson’s Bristol City have collected 23 points from 19 league games, winning six, drawing five and losing eight. They go into this round of fixtures in 18th spot, although they are level on points with Sheffield United.
The Robins have been in poor form lately, losing five of their last eight. However, after no wins in three, City picked up a vital victory in midweek, edging past high-flying Stoke City, with Tyreeq Bakinson scoring the only goal of the game at Ashton Gate.
