Prediction: 1-0
Stoke City
Following back-to-back defeats to Leeds United and Middlesbrough, Sheffield United will look to get back on course when they face Stoke City at their Bramall Lane. The Blades are on a four-game winning run at home, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. Dutch midfielder Gustavo Hamer misses out through suspension, while Tom Davies remains in the recovery room.
The Potters, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. Stoke City, though, have been struggling on the road of late, losing two of their last three away games and that is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Sheffield United, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Midfielder Wouter Burger is a major doubt, while all Sam Gallagher, Bosun Lawal, Lynden Gooch, and Ben Pearson remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Jack Bonham):
Jack Bonham is a professional footballer who was born in Stevenage on the 14th of September, 1993. The 26-year-old, although having born in England, is an Irish International and has featured for the Republic of Ireland's Under-17 team five times.
At the club level, he began his youth career with Watford and signed his first professional contract in September 2010 at the age of 17. Bonham's first-ever professional appearance came on the 4th of May, 2013 as a substitute against Leeds United in the final game of the 12/13 Championship season.
This appearance marked the 1.92 m standing goalkeeper's only appearance in a Watford shirt. Bonham then went on to play for clubs like Brentford, Carlisle United and Bristol Rovers before eventually joining Gillingham at the start of the 2019 season on a two-year contract. He's since featured nine times for the club and kept two clean sheets.
Highlighted Team (Sheffield United):
Sheffield United are a professional football club that compete in the Championship. The Blades finished the 2016/2017 League One campaign in top position in the standings, with the team collecting exactly 100 points in the process. Sheffield United last competed in the Premier League in the 2006/2007 season and they were more than unfortunate not to secure the top flight survival.
The Blades finished the season in 18th place in the process and it has to be noted that they were level on points with Wigan Athletic, who managed to avoid the relegation to the English second tier. Sheffield United welcome their rivals at Bramal Lane, the stadium which was opened on April 30, 1855. The current capacity of the venue is 32.702.
The club have numerous rivalries, but the most notable one is the rivalry with their city neighbors Sheffield Wednesday. The two teams face each other in the Steel City derby and it has to be noted that United share rivalry with the likes of Barnsley, Rotherham United, Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United as well.
