Premier League, 12/01/21, Bramall Lane (Sheffield), 18:00 GMT
Bottom of the table Sheffield United with just two draws and 2 points from 17 games host Newcastle United who are 15th with 19 points. In their last matches, both teams lost their matches against Crystal Palace and Leicester City respectively.
Sheffield United
It has been a season to forget for Sheffield United. They need more than a miracle to stay up. They have problems on all fronts. Manager Chris Wilder’s team managed to score just 3 goals in their last six matches letting in 11. The Blades haven’t beaten Newcastle in their last 5 matches in the league. They also haven’t won any home game in their last nine matches at Bramall Lane. They need to turn things around, maybe work at the transfer market if the budget is available.
Newcastle
After losing at home to Leicester, the magpies will want to come back with 3 points from Sheffield. They won’t settle for less considering the opposition has no wins. They haven’t won in their last six matches and their last 2 away games. They are having trouble scoring goals as they scored just 4 goals in their last 6 matches. Steve Bruce will go all out in this match to ensure his attackers get as many chances as possible and score. Newcastle hasn’t lost in Sheffield in their last 3 visits and would love to make 4 next Tuesday.
Verdict
With both teams struggling to find the back of the net in recent matches we think it will be a low-scoring game.
Verdict: Under 3.5 goals
