The Blades suffered a shock FA Cup defeat at home to League One Mansfield Town before losing away at Charlton in the league last time out. They will be without both Japhet Tanganga and Dijbril Soumare who were both sent off in that game. Despite their recent blip, Sheffield United have scored 11 goals in their last five matches.
Ipswich Town have been flawless in the calendar year and added a win over Bristol City to their collection on Tuesday evening. Kieran McKenna's side have scored 11 goals in their last five matches (all competitions), whilst only conceding twice in this period. The concern here is their questionable away from, having won just four times in 12 attempts.
The previous matchups between the two sides at Bramall Lane have been won by Sheffield United on both occasions, though Ipswich propose a significant threat this time around.

Football Park's Best Bet: Both Teams to Score @ 1.73 Odds - Despite Ipswich being the stronger side on paper, Sheffield United are no slouchers and will be well up for this test on home soil. Both sides respective scoring form justifies confidence in a BTTS bet here.
Callum O'Hare (Sheffield United) O'Hare has been back to his best under Chris Wilder. The midfielder has scored two goals in his last four Championship matches, taking his tally to seven goals and five assists for the campaign.
Jack Clarke (Ipswich Town) Funny how when I write an article questioning his poor form, Clarke is back to his best. The winger scored both goals in the 2-0 win over Bristol City to make it 10 league goals in this campaign. Clarke looks back to his best and will be the player to watch here.
