ℹ️ Team News: Sheffield United

Rob Holding (Ankle surgery), Jamie Shackleton (Foot injury) and Oliver Arblaster (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be available for Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder.

In our view, The Blades should kick off with a 4-4-2 system for this game and select Michael Cooper, Hamza Choudhury, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Jack Robinson, Harrison Burrows, Callum O'Hare, Sydie Peck, Vinicius Souza, Gustavo Hamer, Kieffer Moore and Tyrese Campbell.

📋 Team News: Bristol City

In an otherwise available group of players, there is just the sole fitness worry for the Bristol City boss Liam Manning to contend with. Luke McNally (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out for this game.

From our viewpoint, The Robins could decide to play in a 3-4-2-1 lineup, choosing Max O'Leary, George Tanner, Zak Vyner, Haydon Roberts, Yu Hirakawa, Jason Knight, Max Bird, Ross McCrorie, George Earthy, Anis Mehmeti and Nahki Wells.

💭 Prediction

Our thinking is that Bristol City will need to push hard to hit the back of the net against this Sheffield United lineup who we think will get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a hard-fought 1-0 win for Sheffield United at the conclusion of the game.

Let’s see how this one goes.
