Prediction: 1-1
Watford
Sheffield United will be aiming to bounce back from the EFL Cup loss to Barnsley when they take on Watford in the Championship round 4. The Blades aim to move closer to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented strategy against Watford. Both Femi Seriki and Jamie Shackleton are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Hornets, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record intact in the new Championship campaign, but beating Sheffield United at Bramall Lane is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that both sides should be happy with one point from Sunday’s showdown. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous four meetings between the two sides in all competitions. Defender Wesley Hoedt should be the only absentee in the away team.
