Sheffield United, Recent FormSheffield United will not be too disheartened with their 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Liverpool who sit so many places above them in the table. They achieved 24% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Liverpool's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
Supremo Chris Wilder will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 17 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 4 goals they've managed to net. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 18 games.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table. It has been a particularly poor run of form in the league, having racked up 12 defeats in 15 games.
Brentford, Recent FormThe Brentford squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 38%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Brighton & Hove Albion had 18 shots on goal with 7 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Ivan Toney 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 Brentford.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Sheffield United that came out on top with a 2-0 win.
The Bees have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with Sheff. Utd. During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Bramall Lane, The Bees have been unable to break through the Sheff. Utd defence and find the back of the net.
Sheff. Utd has won the last 2 games they've played against Brentford in the league.
Sheff. Utd manager Chris Wilder has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Chris Basham (Broken leg), Rhian Brewster (Hamstring), Ismaila Coulibaly (Unknown), Tom Davies (Knee), John Egan (Calf), Daniel Jebbison (Illness) and Rhys Norrington-Davies (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thomas Frank has a number of injury concerns in his Brentford squad to contend with: Kristoffer Ajer (Foot), Nathan Collins (Ankle), Josh Dasilva (Hamstring), Rico Henry (Knee), Aaron Hickey (Hamstring), Mathias Jensen (Groin) and Kevin Schade (Hip)
