Sheffield United
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 3-1
Derby
All eyes will be on Bramall Lane when Sheffield United and Derby County face each other in the Championship derby on Saturday afternoon. The Blades aim to recover from the EFL Cup defeat to Southampton, and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play. You should bear in mind that Sheffield United scored 11 goals in total in the previous three league fixtures. Experienced attacker Billy Sharp returns to the starting line-up, while all David McGoldrick, Lys Mousset, Enda Stevens, and Jack O’Connell remain in the recovery room.
The Rams, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Stoke City. Wayne Rooney’s troops, though, are not regarded as good travelers, and that is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the Blades, who have been showing signs of improvement of late. Both Colin Kazim-Richards and Krystian Bielik remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Craig Forsyth is back from suspension.

Osborn was born in Derby (England) on August 5, 1994 and he started his youth career at his hometown club Derby County. In 2003 he moved to Nottingham Forest and after spending ten years at their football academy Osborn made his first-team debut for the Reds.

It has to be noted that the Nottingham Forest midfielder scored four goals, while providing seven assists for his teammates in the 2016/2017 Championship season. His main position is left midfield, but he is capable of playing as both central and attacking midfielder as well. Ben Osborn’s preferred foot is left.
Highlighted Team (Derby):
Derby County is one of the 12 founder members of the Football League. However, nowadays the Rams compete in the Championship and they play their home matches at Pride Park Stadium. Derby County have won the two trophies in the English top flight (1971/1972, 1974/1975), with the team lifting the FA Cup trophy just after the World War II (1946).
Derby’s main rivals are Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Leeds United, but the rivalry between Forest and Derby is regarded as the biggest one.
The two teams take on each other in the East Midlands derby. The colour of Derby’s shirts is white, whilst their shorts are black. It has to be noted that the club was founded in 1884 by William Morley. The Rams competed in the European competitions four times, but they did not record a notable result in the European Cups. The club’s chairman is Mel Morris.
