Sheffield United have enjoyed a tremendous run of form lately. They have managed five wins to go with a draw in their last six fixtures. They have scored 15 goals during this period and conceded just one. This clearly indicates Sheffield’s brilliant run of form and how well the players are functioning as a team. Sheffield will be desperate to keep this run going to earn promotion back to the Premier League after a two year period in the Championship.
Birmingham City won’t be pleased with the inconsistencies that have affected their recent results. They have earned just two wins to go with a draw and three defeats in their last six outings. Facing the best team in the league at this moment won’t bring a lot of positivity in the Birmingham dressing room right now but they will have to believe in themselves to play at their best and fancy a major upset.
Sheffield United have a plethora of injury issues with Adam Davies, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Ben Osborn, Ciaran Clark, Enda Stevens, Jack Robinson, Jack O’Connell, John Fleck and Max Lowe all ruled out. For Birmingham City, Harlee Dean, Nico Gordon and Przemyslaw Placheta are the reported absentees.
Sheffield United possible line-up: Foderingham, Baldock, Egan, Basham, Bogle, Doyle, Norwood, Norrington-Davies, Berge, Ndiaye, McBurnie
Birmingham City possible line-up: Ruddy, Colin, Sanderson, Trusty, Williams, Bielik, Chong, Graham, Mejbri, Deeney, Hogan
