Sheffield United are in good form heading into this game, winning their last three consecutive Championship games.

Sheffield United Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-Up: Michael Cooper; Harrison Burrows, Jack Robinson, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Alfie Gilchrist; Sydie Peck, Vinicius Souza; Andre Brooks, Callum O’Hare, Rhian Brewster; Tyrese Campbell

Sheffield United have had an excellent first half of the season, finding themselves in with a great chance to see promotion back into the Premier League after a year given, they currently occupy inside a title race. After 28 games they sit in second place with 18 wins, four losses and six draws. Those matches have left them with 28 points, just a single point behind their title rivals Leeds United who sit top of the table. Stepping up this season for The Blades has been midfielder Gustavo Hamer. The 27 year old shone bright in the abysmal Sheffield side that was part of the Premier League last year and he has kept that quality. Hamer has found himself responsible for 11 goals this season, split into six goals and five assists, making him the top goal contributor for the club. Unfortunately for those attending Bramall Lane this Friday, he is unavailable due to picking up too many yellow cards but Tyrese Campbell who has netted six times could be Sheffield’s difference maker instead.

Hull City Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-Up: Ivor Pandur; Sean McLoughlin, Alfie Jones, Finley Burns, Cody Drameh; Steven Alzate, Xavier Simons; Mason Burstow, Gustavo Puerta, Joe Gelhardt; João Pedro

Hull City are having a rough start to the season, finding themselves in the relegation zone and desperate to escape the bottom three. After 28 games they sit in 22nd place with six wins, 14 losses and eight draws. Those matches have left them with 26 points, sharing that tally with 23rd placed Luton Town but goal difference the reason as to why they are higher up in the standings. A win with results across the Championship table going their way and Hull could climb as high as 18th come the full time whistle. In the goals for The Tigers has been striker João Pedro. He has put his name upon the scoresheet five times in the 20 games he’s featured in. With Hull City showing hit and miss form, the services of Pedro will be called upon again as he is their best shot at trying to grab all three points this Friday.
