Team News

Sheff Utd
Cardiff
  • Paul Heckingbottom could hand a full league debut to striker Will Osula with Oli McBurnie, Billy Sharp, Rhian Brewster and David McGoldrick all unavailable.
  • George Baldock suffered an injury on Monday afternoon so expect Ben Osborn to fill in on the right.
  • Alfie Doughty suffered an injury just 19 minutes into Cardiff's game against Luton, so expect Isaak Davies to return out wide this weekend.
  • The Bluebirds could line up unchanged elsewhere as they prepare for the trip to Yorkshire.

Prediction

  • Injuries are ravaging the Sheffield United squad at the worst possible time, meaning Paul Heckingbottom's side will host Cardiff this weekend without a senior striker. The Blades are winless in three heading into the weekend and lead seventh-placed Millwall by just one point.
  • Cardiff failed to make their early chances pay on Easter Monday as they were eventually beaten 1-0 by a Luton side who are battling for an incredible top-six finish. Steve Morison's men have lost three of their last four league games ahead of their trip to Bramall Lane, but will take confidence from their hosts' recent struggles.
