ℹ️ Team News: Sheffield United

Tom Davies (unknown injury), Chris Basham (Leg injury), Anel Ahmedhodzic (unknown injury) and John Egan (Foot injury) are not available for Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom.

We are thinking that The Blades will probably line up in a 3-4-2-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Wesley Foderingham, George Baldock, Auston Trusty, Jack Robinson, Jayden Bogle, Luke Thomas, V. de Souza, Oliver Norwood, James McAtee, Gustavo Hamer and Cameron Archer.

📋 Team News: Bournemouth

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has multiple availability issues to deal with. Ryan Fredericks (Calf injury), Emiliano Marcondes (Foot injury), Darren Randolph (Ill) and Tyler Adams (Hamstring injury) miss out here.

We reckon that The Cherries appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Neto, Adam Smith, Illia Zabarnyi, Marcos Senesi, Lloyd Kelly, Ryan Christie, Lewis Cook, Antoine Semenyo, Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier and Dominic Solanke.

💡 Prediction

In our view, Sheffield United will need to apply a lot of pressure to find the net against this Bournemouth outfit who we think might end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore tipping a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 victory for Bournemouth at the conclusion of the game.
