Sheffield United, Recent FormAfter a crushing 5-1 away loss to Newcastle United, the Sheffield United squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Newcastle United, who had 20 shots on goal with 7 on target.
They have found the net 7 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 20 goals in that same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 19 games.
Sheffield United will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 11 games.
Nottingham Forest, Recent FormNottingham Forest won't feel too deflated by the 2-0 home defeat to Manchester City, given that their opponents sit a full 15 places above them in the league table. In that game they recorded 33 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 11 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 11 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Chris Wood will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Nottingham Forest.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Sheffield United who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-1 to Nottingham Forest.
In their previous 4 encounters with Sheff. Utd, The Reds have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Forest has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Sheff. Utd, being unable to find a win from any of their last 7 league meetings at Bramall Lane.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Sheff. Utd manager Chris Wilder with George Baldock (Thigh), Chris Basham (Broken leg), Rhian Brewster (Hamstring), Tom Davies (Strain), John Egan (Calf), Daniel Jebbison (Unknown), James McAtee (Strain), Oli McBurnie (Hamstring) and Rhys Norrington-Davies (Hamstring) all unavailable for selection, and Max Lowe (Ankle) out for the rest of the season.
With only Taiwo Awoniyi (Muscle) and Willy Boly (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Nuno Espírito Santo will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
