Sunday's first Premier League game sees Sheffield United take on Brighton in a repeat of their FA Cup Fourth Round clash which Brighton won 5-2 just a couple of weeks ago. The Blades did record a first away win of the season at Luton last weekend in a 3-1 win and they faced a Brighton side who have struggled a little on the road this season, winning 3, drawing 3 and losing 6 of their dozen games on the road.

Sheffield United - Brighton: Form Analysis
Sheffield United come into this game on the back of their first away win all season, a resounding 3-1 success at Luton which just about keeps their hopes of avoiding the drop alive. Manager Chris Wilder will know that his team still have a massive job, being eight points from safety and bottom of the league with the worst goal difference in the division by 13 goals. All of the Blades last six games have seen over 3.5 goals scored in them, with both teams scoring in four of those five games. The Blades have scored 13 goals in those games, but have conceded 15, which has been their Achilles heel all season long. United also have the second worst home record in the Premier League with just 8 points collected at home from 36 available.
Brighton remain in the top half of the table despite a relatively poor run of form by their standards of late, which has included a 4-0 defeat at Luton, as well as defeats to Arsenal and Tottenham. However, the Seagulls have lost just two of their last nine games in all competitions, but those defeats have come in their last three games. Sandwiched in between was a 4-1 win over Crystal Palace and the visitors can also point to a comfortable 5-2 win on this ground just a few weeks ago in the FA Cup Fourth Round. Brighton's away form has been especially poor of late and that will be a concern for manager Roberto de Zerbi as his team head into the final third of the season.

Sheffield United & Brighton Squad Analysis
Sheffield United come into this game with a doubt over striker Oli McBurnie, who has been suffering from a tight calf in recent times, but the Blades seem confident that the Scottish striker could be fit for the game at the weekend. Another striker, Chilean Ben Brereton-Diaz, missed the Blades win last week at Luton with a tight hamstring, but could also be fit to play if required against Brighton. George Baldock and Ivo Grbic could also return for the home side. Long term absentees Rhys Norrington-Davies, Daniel Jebbison, John Egan and Chris Basham remain sidelined.
Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi remains without Solly March and Julio Enciso, who are both long term absentees. They could be joined by Joao Pedro, who has a thigh problem and could be out for several weeks. James Milner will miss the game due to a thigh injury, but Jack Hinshelwood has eased fears that he could be out for a while by making a return to training this week. Simon Adingra will also be in consideration after he made his return from the African Cup of Nations in the past week, although whether he starts remains a doubt.
