📋 Team News: Sheffield United

Looking at personnel, there is just the sole fitness concern for the Sheffield United gaffer Chris Wilder to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Jamie Shackleton (Foot injury) is out of contention.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Sheffield United have it within them to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

At the other end, Mansfield Town could well struggle to score themselves but we do fancy them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We’re tipping a controlled 3-1 victory for Sheffield United at the conclusion of the game.
