After securing the Premier League last season by finishing 2nd in the Championship, the Blades failed to add quality players over the Summer. Sheffield have been glued to the bottom of the league for most of the season and are virtually been relegated but they would want to drag their opponents to that path before the season ends.

Nottingham returned to the English top flight last year after a 23-year wait. Last year, they avoided relegation by only four points, and this season, they are battling to avoid relegation once again. However, they had an additional problem as the FA deducted them four points. Right now, they are 17th with 26 points, just one point away from the danger zone. They are in really bad form but, luckily, have a pretty good schedule, as they will face off against two teams currently in the relegation zone (Sheffield and Burnley).

H2H / Stats 

Recent Meetings;

18/8/23: Forest 2-1 Sheffield United

17/5/22: Forest 1-2 Sheffield

14/5/22: Sheffield 1-2 Forest

4/5/22: Sheffield 1-1 Forest

2/11/21: Forest 1-1 Sheffield 

Team News 

The Blades constantly have injury problems, which is also the case for this match. The newest names on the injury list are Oliver McBurnie (thigh injury) and James McAtee (hip injury). Additionally, Max Lowe, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Chris Basham, John Egan, Daniel Jebbison, George Baldock, Tom Davies, and Rhian Brewster will all remain sidelined with their injuries.

For Forest, Neco Williams, the starting right full-back, suffered a thigh injury in the previous game against Manchester City and had to leave the field after 35 minutes. He will most likely miss at least the upcoming match. Taiwo Awoniyi, who missed the previous seven games due to a muscle injury, is very close to returning to the field. For now, he is doubtful. Additionally, Nicolas Dominguez is questionable with a knock.

Probable Line-Up

Sheffield United XI: Foderingham (GK), Holgate, Ahmedhodzic, Trusty, Bogle, Souza, Arblaster, Brooks, Osborn, Archer, Diaz

Nottingham Forest XI: Sels (GK), Montiel, Niakhate, Boly, Murillo, Ola, Elanga, Danilo, Gibs-White, Odoi, Wood

Verdict 

Sheffield have been terrible throughout the season, and with 97 conceded goals, they are by far the worst defensive team in the league. In 35 Premier League games, the Blades have only kept a clean sheet just once! So, a clean sheet is pretty much off the table. Furthermore, this is a tie that has always produced goals.
