Sheffield United Preview – Can the Blades bounce back with a much-needed win?
Slavisa Jokanovic’s Sheffield United are languishing at the wrong end of the Championship table right now. After 17 games played, the Blades have mustered up just five league wins. They have drawn four and lost eight of the other 12.
Sheffield United are without a win in three since prevailing at Oakwell on 24th October. After a poor 1-0 home loss to Blackpool, the Yorkshire side drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Last time out, United were beaten 3-1 by Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
Things have not gone to plan for Jokanovic at Bramall Lane up until now, but a win against one of the form sides could be the start of something good as we enter the busy Christmas period. The bookies have the home win priced at 10/11.

Sheffield United have struggled to get going this season. They went six league and cup matches unbeaten at Bramall Lane but have lost their last two Championship home games. Unfortunately for Jokanovic’s men, we fancy in-form Coventry to leave with the points on Saturday. Back the away win and both teams to score at 6/1.
Matt Godden is in red-hot form for the Sky Blues, scoring an impressive five goals in his last five Championship outings. Godden will be keen to keep up his fine goal-scoring form, and the 30-year-old is priced at 5/2 to notch anytime at Bramall Lane.
