Premier League Preview

If Chris Wilder wasn’t aware of the size of the job on his hands when he was reappointed as boss at Sheffield United, then he would be by now. The Blades are cut adrift at the bottom of the league standings after suffering a league-high of 18 losses already this term. They come into this latest round of matches after losing three of their last four, and they were extremely poor against Brighton last time out. 

Sheffield United have been extremely weak throughout the season, allowing a league-high of 65 goals. Their inability defensively was evident once again last weekend, as they conceded five at home against Brighton. That defeat means that they have now conceded ten in their last two home league matches. An improvement defensively is a must ahead of this weekend.

Wolves continue to catch the eye in the Premier League this season, as the team from the West Midlands sit on the cusp of breaking into the top half of the standings. In fact, a victory this weekend could see them end the round as high as eighth in the league table. 

Wolves picked up a second win in three league matches last weekend, as they upset the odds away from home against Tottenham. It was a fine team display by the away side, with Joao Gomes netting both goals to de-rail Tottenham’s Champions League push. The victory was their third in five trips to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Wolves vs Sheffield United Head to Head

Sheffield United picked up a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture between these sides this term. That ended a two-match winning sequence against the Blades for Wolves. However, Wolves have still recorded victories in four of their last five home matches against the Blades coming into this weekend. 

Wolves vs Sheffield United Prediction

It is incredibly hard to make a case for the Blades based on the heavy defeats that they have suffered in recent weeks. Therefore, the safest play appears to be on the home side to continue their charge up the standings, as Wolves look good value to move into the top half.
