Sheffield United VS Sunderland – Match Preview & Prediction

Sunderland travel to Bramall lane in a huge match at the top of the table, as both teams have the chance to move to the top of the table.

If either team find all 3 points, they will move to the top of the table, until tomorrow’s fixtures at least.

The Hosts, Sheffield United, only need a point to move to the top of the league, as they sit on the same points as Leeds, with a slightly worse goal difference.

Sunderland will be desperate to turn their 5 game drawing streak into wins, as they look to extend their unbeaten run to 11 games.

Last time out, The Blades beat Oxford United 3-0 at home on Tuesday night, whereas Sunderland drew yet again with West Brom, 0-0 at The Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats have lost 4 of their last 5 matches against The Blades, their last victory coming in 2019, in the League Cup.

Max Power scored the only goal of the game, as League One Sunderland caused an upset as they beat Premier League Sheffield United away from home.

The Blades are on a 6 match unbeaten run, with their last defeat coming against Middlesbrough back in October at The Riverside.

It would be a huge victory for Sunderland, if they were to take all 3 points, especially as The Blades have not been beaten at Bramall Lane since August, and they have won 7 home matches in a row without conceding.

Team News
