Stoke City Preview – Will the Potters make it back-to-back wins?
Stoke City have had a pretty miserable season. Michael O’Neill’s men were flirting with the play-offs in the early stages, but a poor period of form in the winter put paid to any slim top-six hopes. The Potters are currently in 15th with 49 points to their name.
Stoke ended their woeful eight-game winless run with a 2-0 triumph over Millwall before the international break. A first-half Jacob Brown effort and a 70th-minute own goal from George Saville earned City the points. Prior to that, they had drawn four and lost four of eight.
Stoke will be looking for a top-half finish, and O’Neill’s boys are currently five points behind 12th. Can they upset another play-off hopeful this weekend?
Sheffield United Preview – Can the Blades seal first away win in five?
Sheffield United have been one of the most consistent teams in the Championship over the past few months. After taking over from Slavisa Jokanovic, Paul Heckingbottom has done an outstanding job at Bramall Lane.
Under their new manager, United have picked up 11 Championship wins to fly up the table. The 2-0 victory over Barnsley before the international break lifted them into fifth. That was just what the doctor ordered after a draw and a defeat in the previous two.

Stoke have been excellent at Bramall Lane lately, but Heckingbottom’s men have had their issues on the road. Since back-to-back away victories at Peterborough United and Birmingham City, United have failed to win in four on their travels (two draws, two defeats). Can they put things right with three points at the bet365 on Saturday?

Sheffield United edged the meeting at Bramall Lane back in October. Jacob Brown gave Stoke a 55th-minute lead, but late goals from Lys Mousset and David McGoldrick turned the game on its head in the Steel City.
In last season’s Championship, both matches ended all square. The pair played out a four-goal thriller when they last met at the bet365, with United coming from behind twice to snatch a point.
