Sheffield United vs Fulham

Sheffield United and Fulham are set to face off against each other at Bramall Lane in a bottom-half Premier League showdown.

A glimmer of hope appeared at the end of a long dark tunnel as Sheffield United whittled down the gap on 17th-placed Luton Town to eight points after a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth on the cusp of March’s international break. Things improved during the pause as Nottingham Forest’s point deduction increased United’s hopes of avoiding an immediate return to the Championship. Back to Bramall Lane, where they’ve lost their last three league matches by 5+ goals ‘to nil,’ the Blades will be out to redeem themselves to the South Yorkshire faithful, seeking their first home league triumph of 2024 (D1, L4). Fulham’s visit could be just what the doctor ordered for Chris Wilder’s players as they thumped the Cottagers 4-0 in their last home encounter.

However, visiting Fulham will be eager to repay that favor, and there’s no shortage of confidence in the traveling camp following a 3-0 thumping of Tottenham before the international break. That was their third win across their last four Premier League outings (L1), one of which was a remarkable 2-1 triumph at Manchester United. As Marco Silva’s men continue their push for a top-half finish, they’re soaking up the limelight as Premier League entertainers, with their last seven league matches featuring over 2.5 goals. But things don’t always go their way, especially on the road, where they’ve only won twice in 14 top-flight games this season (D4, L8). Encouragingly, though, they’ve avoided defeat twice on their last three league travels (W1, D1), netting precisely two goals on both occasions.
