After 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 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.
