Sheffield United, Recent FormSheffield United will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-1 win in their away outing against Luton Town. They achieved 25% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Luton Town's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Chris Wilder will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 16 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end. So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 23 of their 24 games.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table. Their league form has not been good this season, with 17 defeats in 24 matches.
On an individual basis, Oli McBurnie has scored in each of Sheffield United's last 4 league games at Bramall Lane.
Brighton & Hove Albion, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Brighton & Hove Albion players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Tottenham Hotspur who had 16 attempts and 6 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Roberto De Zerbi will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 22 of their 24 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
The Brighton & Hove Albion travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from João Pedro, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Sheff. Utd will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Seagulls having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 11 meetings.
In the last 7 league meetings between these sides, Sheff. Utd have shown they are a tough nut to crack, going unbeaten against Brighton in all 7 matches.
