Prediction: 2-0
Bristol City
After defeating Reading at Madejski Stadium, Sheffield United will be aiming to climb to the top half of the table when they host Bristol City at their Bramall Lane on Matchday 20. The Blades did well to put an end to their four-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Olivier McBurnie has been tested positive for coronavirus, while both Robin Olsen and Jack O’Connell remain in the recovery room.
The Robins, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Stoke City. Bristol City, though, are on a three-match losing run on the road, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on Sheffield United. When the two teams met in the FA Cup earlier in 2021 the Blades defeated Bristol City thanks to Billy Sharp’s goal from the penalty spot, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Jack Rodwell):
Once an exciting midfielder talent who left his boyhood club Everton for Manchester City in 2012, Jack Rodwell has been attracting plenty of criticism over the past couple of years due to the lack of playing time and refusal to leave the Etihad, despite being on the margins with Citizens.
Rodwell joined Everton’s academy when he was eight and soared through the ranks to emerge as one of the key players for the Merseyside club during his five-year stay with the Toffees. A talked-about £15 million move to City turned into a largely disappointing two-year stint with the Citizens, before Rodwell moved to Sunderland.
Having largely struggled to replicate his flying form from his time at Everton, Rodwell signed for the Championship club Blackburn Rovers in 2018 for the remainder of the season, in a bid to get his career back on track. Rodwell represented England through all youth ranks up to the senior side, for which he only managed three caps.
Highlighted Team (Bristol City):
Bristol City are one of the two famous clubs from the city of Bristol. Formed in 1894 the Robins mostly participated in English lower leagues and they have never played in the Premier League. Bristol City’s bitterest rivals are Bristol Rovers and it has to be noted that two teams first met in 1897. Bristol City have outplayed their local rivals on 43 occasions in the Bristol Derby.
Cardiff City are regarded as Bristol City’s bitter rivals as well. The Robins play their home games at Ashton Gate, the stadium that was opened in 1887. Bristol City were semi-finalists of the League Cup two times (1970/1971, 1988/1989), with the team making it to the FA Cup final in 1909.
The Robins faced Manchester United in the title game, but they failed to upset the English giants in the Crystal Palace clash. It is well known that Bristol City footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts.
