Match Preview
Chris Wilder was re-appointed at the start of the week by Sheffield United, as the Blades turned to the man who took the club to the promised land. Wilder will have a huge job on his hands to save this United side, as they currently sit bottom of the standings, having won just once this term. Defensively, there is massive work to be done, as they have allowed a league-high of 41 goals.
However, some positives would have been taken from the coach despite a defeat in his first game back at the club. The Blades played well against Liverpool in midweek, before tiring and conceding a second goal in the closing stages. But, a better outcome will be expected against the Bees this weekend.

Brentford will see this fixture as a perfect opportunity to get back on track in the Premier League, as they come into the weekend after losing three of their last four. The Bees would have been disappointed with the outcome from their previous match, as they squandered a 1-0 advantage before losing 2-1 on the road at Brighton.
This will be the first time that these clubs have clashed in the Premier League, with Sheffield United having won on four from five previous clashes. The Blades are also unbeaten in their last five home matches against the Bees, winning their previous home match against Brentford by a 2-0 scoreline in March 2019.
Sheffield United vs Brentford Prediction
Brentford holds excellent form against newly promoted opposition, and that could be challenging to overlook this weekend. However, a chance will be taken on Wilder’s Blades to claim victory against the Bees for the third match running.
