Match Preview
Sheffield United remain at the bottom of the Premier League standings, but they have aided their survival chances after taking four points from their last four matches. The Blades come into this round after landing a much-needed victory in their most recent fixture, claiming maximum points on the road against Luton. However, they remain seven points adrift from safety.
It has been an indifferent period in the season for Brighton, as they have lost two of their last three, and they have recorded just one victory in their last five. The Seagulls are winless in their last six league matches on the road, which is their longest winless run since December 2021. Defeat this weekend could see them end the round in the bottom half.

Sheffield United have been poor defensively this term, conceding 31 goals across their 12 home matches. Only West Brom in 2020-21 have allowed more goals at this stage of the season. They have allowed far too many shots on goal, conceding 206 shots, averaging 17.2 per game. No side has allowed more since Wolves in 2011-12.
However, the Blades have an impressive record against the Seagulls, having avoided defeat in their last seven league matches since a 2-1 defeat in the Championship in January 2005. Meanwhile, Brighton are winless in their five clashes with the Blades in the premier League, with three matches having ended in draws.
Sheffield United vs Brighton Prediction
Sheffield United’s record in this fixture is eye-catching, and confidence would have been taken from their win over Luton last weekend. Therefore, a chance is taken on the Blades to pick up a huge three points on Sunday.
