Form
Sheffield United are rock-bottom of the Premier League with just 13 points from their 24 matches so far. The Blades did however earn their first win in eight league games last time out, defeating Luton Town 3-1 at Kenilworth Road. Statistically Sheffield United have both the worst defence and worst attack in this season’s Premier League. The Blades have shipped 60 goals, scoring just 22.
Sunday’s opponents, Brighton & Hove Albion sit 9th in the league with 35 points from 24 matches but have just one win in their past five Premier League matches. Six of Brighton’s seven league defeats so far this season have come away from the Amex.
Sheffield United v Brighton & Hove Albion: head-to-head
Brighton & Hove Albion visited Bramall Lane in an FA Cup fourth round tie just three weeks ago and comfortably eased past the hosts in a 5-2 victory. However, Sheffield United have not lost a league game against Brighton since 2005. The reverse fixture at the Amex back in November ended in a 1-1 draw.
Betting tips
Sheffield United are fighting for their Premier League lives and their prospects of survival received a huge boost with last weekend’s win at Luton Town. We cannot see The Blades losing on Sunday but we’re not quite confident enough to go all out in backing a home win. The home win / draw double chance is the safest bet at 6/5. The reverse fixture ended 1-1 and a repeat of that scoreline could be on the cards in Sheffield on Sunday. In the correct score betting, Coral are offering odds of 7/1 on a 1-1 draw.
Sheffield United’s on-loan forward, James McAtee has scored two goals in his side’s last three league games and is probably the standout pick in the goalscorer markets. McAtee is 3/1 to score at any time but with goals expected to be quite scarce at Bramall Lane, there is probably better value in backing the 21-year-old to score first at odds of 8/1.

Sheffield United: 4/1
