Team News

Sheff Utd
Cardiff
  • Jamal Blackman begins a three-game suspension for striking out at Brentford midfielder Ryan Woods on Friday, so Simon Moore will start in goal for the Blades.
  • Clayton Donaldson was a constant threat after replacing Billy Sharp against the Bees and may have earned a start here against Cardiff.
  • Aron Gunnarsson made his long-awaited return to first-team action as a substitute against Burton on Friday but is unlikely to be ready to start just yet.
  • Neil Warnock could opt for an unchanged starting XI after another comprehensive victory, although Gary Madine and Yanic Wildschut are both pushing for starts.

Prediction

  • Sheffield United wasted several clear-cut chances against Brentford and it's that absence of a ruthless streak that could cost the Blades a play-off place. Just one point behind Derby in 5th, the hosts have a golden chance to throw their hat in the promotion ring with seven games left.
  • Seven points clear of 3rd place with a game in hand, an astonishing eight-game winning run has fired Cardiff within touching distance of the Premier League. The Bluebirds are showing no sign of stopping and will be expected to triumph again here.
  • A crucial game for both sides in the race for promotion and for the play-offs, it's impossible to go against Cardiff as the favourites, especially considering the attacking quality shown in recent weeks.
