Sunderland, Recent FormSunderland will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 away win against Norwich City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 28%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Norwich City, who had 17 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Manager Tony Mowbray will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 17 games. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Mowbray will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Sunderland, Ross Stewart will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Sheffield United, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Luton Town will not have sat easily with the Sheffield United squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Luton Town who had 6 attempts and 1 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Paul Heckingbottom will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. When playing away from home this season, they have notched up a respectable 8 clean sheets.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
John Egan will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Sunderland in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Sheffield United.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Sheffield United that came out on top with a 2-1 win.

Paul Heckingbottom has a number of injury concerns in his Sheff. Utd squad to contend with: Rhian Brewster (Hamstring), Rhys Norrington-Davies (Hamstring), Jack O'Connell (Knee), Ben Osborn (Hamstring) and Enda Stevens (Muscle)
