PREVIEW
There’s a brilliant game in prospect this lunchtime at Bramall Lane with League One second-placed Brentford taking on fourth-placed Sheffield United with just two points separating the sides.
The Blades have only lost one of their last seven league games against Brentford, winning four, but that came in the reverse fixture at Griffin Park back in November. That was the fourth successive game that both teams had failed to score in the same match. It was also the third meeting in a row that finished with a 2-0 scoreline.
After a run of six consecutive clean sheets in the Football League, United conceded four last time out at Stevenage to lose their first game in eight. The Bees have lost two of their last four games, both away, and it’s that form that has arguably cost them top spot so far.
Uwe Rosler’s men have only won six on the road this term. Every other team in the top ten has won more on their travels than Brentford.
It’s a weakness United will be out to exploit and they can bounce back from last weekend’s humiliation with a win.
