Team News

Sheff Utd
Sheff Wed
  • Striker Kieffer Moore picked up an injury on Tuesday night and it remains to be seen whether he'll be fit enough to feature on Sunday.
  • Chris Wilder rested key players in midweek, so expect the likes of Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Oliver Arblaster to return here.
  • Dominic Iorfa picked up a knock on Tuesday night and if he isn't deemed fit enough to start here, young centre-back Gabriel Otegbayo could make his first league start.
  • The Owls have five further injury concerns for the Steel City Derby, including Olaf Kobacki and Akin Famewo.

Prediction

  • Sheffield United were heading for a disappointing away defeat against Bristol City in midweek before late goals from Ryan One and Harrison Burrows flipped the scoreline and gave the Blades all three points.
  • Chris Wilder's men have now won three straight league games ahead of the visit of their arch-rivals.
  • Sheffield Wednesday produced the perfect response to a worrying 6-2 home defeat against Watford when they hosted Norwich on Tuesday night. The Owls scored twice in the first half en route to a comfortable 2-0 win.
  • They now go in search of a third straight away league victory when they travel to Bramall Lane.
