An important fixture at the bottom of the Premier League standings will take place at Bramall Lane on Saturday, as Sheffield United desperately chase an important victory when they come up against Fulham.
Time appears to be running out on Sheffield United’s stay in the Premier League, with the Blades battling for important points across the last ten rounds of matches. However, a survival bid looks extremely unlikely at this stage of the season, as they remain rooted to the foot of the standings and are currently eight points adrift from safety.
The Blades have suffered defeats in three of their last four matches in the competition, and they missed a golden opportunity to make ground on the sides above them before the international break when throwing away a healthy advantage at Bournemouth. This is effectively a must-win clash for Chris Wilder’s side, and a glimmer of confidence can be taken from their home record, with two of their three wins this term coming at Bramall Lane.
Fulham still have aims of their own to achieve this term, with the Cottagers looking to secure a second consecutive finish in the top half of the standings. Marco Silva’s team come into this round in reliable recent form after winning three of their last four matches in the competition. A victory on Saturday could see them end the round as high as ninth.
Fulham have been a difficult team to beat in recent months, with just two losses being inflicted in their last eight matches. However, their away record would be a concern ahead of this fixture. The Cottagers have recorded just two wins on the road this season, with eight of their 13 defeats coming away from Craven Cottage.
Fulham have picked up victories in each of their last two Premier League matches against the Blades, which includes a 3-1 success in the reverse this term. Sheffield United’s last win against Fulham was achieved in the second tier in May 2022.
Fulham’s away record this season is a massive concern ahead of this showdown at Bramall Lane. Therefore, we are prepared to take a chance on the side currently sitting bottom of the standings claiming maximum points in front of their home fans.
