10th-placed Stoke City welcome 19th-placed Sheffield United to the bet365 Stadium on Monday for their Championship round 24 clash. Can the Potters overcome their visitors to strengthen their bid for a top-six finish? Here is our game prediction..

Stoke City failed to make their dominant performance count as they settled for a barren draw against visiting Preston on Friday. That was the first time they have neither scored nor conceded in a home game this season. 

They have struggled for results lately, but not in front of goal when playing at home. Mark Robins' side have found the back of the net in seven of their last nine home fixtures, with three of the last four ending with over 2.5 goals. 

Sheffield United suffered defeat in an eight-goal thriller against Wrexham on Friday. They shipped three unreplied goals in the second half to surrender a 3–2 first-half lead, eventually losing 5–3 at the final whistle. 

That result saw the Blades fail to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last eight Championship away games, six of which produced no fewer than three goals. They have also conceded 2+ goals in five of their last six away fixtures.
