🗞️ Team News: Bristol City

It looks as if The Robins will probably opt for a 4-3-2-1 system in the match, handing starts to Radek Vítek, Adam Randell, Noah Eile, Neto Borges, Cameron Pring, Jason Knight, Sam Morsy, Max Bird, Mark Sykes, Emil Riis Jakobsen and Scott Twine.

🗞️ Team News: Sheffield United

In an otherwise full-strength group of players, there is just the lone fitness problem for the Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder to be concerned about. Jamie Shackleton (Foot injury) won’t be in action.

From our viewpoint, The Blades seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to Adam Davies, Femi Seriki, Tyler Bindon, Japhet Tanganga, Harrison Burrows, Sydie Peck, Jairo Riedewald, Thomas Cannon, Callum O'Hare, Gustavo Hamer and Patrick Bamford.

⚡ Prediction

We feel that Bristol City will have to work hard as a team to find the net against this Sheffield United outfit who we think will likely manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We’re therefore predicting a narrow 0-1 advantage for Sheffield United at the end of this game.

We’ll see what happens.
