Sheffield United suffered their 10th league-defeat of the season against Burnely last time out, courtesy of Johan Berg Gudmundsson’s second-half brace. The Blades played the majority of the match with 10 men after goalkeeper Wes Foderingham was sent off in the 17th-minute for a foul just wide of his penalty area. The result ended their four game wining run in the second tier. Paul Heckingbottom’s side have registered 23 Championship-wins this term and their last triumph cam against rock-bottom side Wigan Athletic last Friday, thanks to Iliman Ndiaye’s lone goal inside the opening eight minutes. Meanwhile, Sheffield United’s home-record this season has been pretty decent, having collected 39 points from a possible 57 at Bramall Lane.
Cardiff City, on the other hand, have won only 11 league-games this term and five of those triumphs have come on the road. Last Friday, the Bluebirds defeated Blackpool 3-1 at Bloomfield Road courtesy of first-half efforts from Connor Wickham, Sory Kaba and Joe Ralls. But after that, Sabri Lamouchi’s side lost to Sunderland at home, through Denis Cirkin’s lone goal on the hour-mark. It was Cardiff’s 20th second tier defeat of the campaign. Meanwhile, the Bluebirds have the worst attacking record in the Championship, having scored the least number of goals (33) thus far.
Sheffield United probable starting lineup: Davies, Ahmedhodzic, Egan, Robinson, Bogle, Berge, Doyle, McAtee, Baldock, McBurnie, Ndiaye
Cardiff City probable starting lineup: Allsop, Ng, McGuinness, Kipre, Romeo, Philogene, Ralls, Wintle, Ojo, Kaba, Wickham
