Underperforming Sheffield United welcome Derby County to Bramall Lane on Saturday for matchday 10 of the English Championship. The Blades are looking to battle their way back after a poor start while the Rams will try to put some more breathing space between them and the drop zone. Check out our match prediction!
After a nightmare start saw Sheffield lose eight of their first nine Championship fixtures, Chris Wilder’s side looked to be on the comeback trail. They managed back-to-back wins over Blackburn and Watford to move up to nine points on the season.
The Blades raced out to a 2-0 lead away from home against Preston last weekend, only to give up three straight and lose the match 3-2. They now return home, where they’ve lost four of their five outings so far.
Derby, on the other hand, are playing quite well lately. They managed just a single victory in their first 11 league fixtures, the Rams have now won their last two straight.
The visitors have shown defensive solidity in those games, keeping a clean sheet over Norwich and QPR to secure 1-0 home wins in both matches. Derby have now opened up a five-point lead over the bottom three, but also find themselves just five points off the promotion playoff spots.
