Sheffield United got the better of Stoke City last Saturday, courtesy of Iliman Ndiaye’s opener and Jayden Bogle’s brace. It was Paul Heckingbottom’s side’s 16 league-win of the season and they have now extended their unbeaten run to seven second tier games, winning six of those.The Blades boast the league’s tightest defensive record and the second best goal tally. They have a strong stranglehold over the automatic qualification spot, having extended their lead over third-placed Watford to 11 points.
Hull City, on the other hand, have managed to climb to the 16th spot thanks to a six-game unbeaten run. The Tigers went into the World Cup break languishing at the bottom of the table, but they have not tasted defeat in the second tier since, adding 10 points to their tally in the process. Last time out, Hull City came from behind to earn a dramatic draw against Huddersfield Town. Michal Helik’s 21st-minute opener was canceled out by Oscar Estupinan eight minutes into the injury time. Liam Rosenior would have hoped to take all three points against the struggling Terriers, but they have certainly added confidence from their late leveler.
Sheffield United probable line-up: Foderingham, Ahmedhodzic, Egan, Robinson, Bogle, Berge, Norwood, McAtee, Lowe, Sharp, Ndiaye
Hull City probable line-up: Ingram, Christie, Jones, McLoughlin, Graves, Woods, Seri, Tetteh, Slater, Longman, Estupinan
