United come into this fixture having (agonisingly) drawn 1-1 at home to Bristol City last Tuesday night. Michael Cooper in the Blades goal was sensational on 34 minutes when he kept out Sinclair Armstrong’s close-range header off the line. Tyrese Campbell netted his third goal in as many goals on 61 minutes after he slipped the ball past the keeper after being put through by substitute Rhian Brewster. As the clock ticked down, on 90 minutes, Mark Sykes levelled for the Robins.
To date, the Blades have a great record away from home having won their last 5 fixtures away from Bramall Lane. Since they last suffered defeat on New Years Day in a 2-1 loss at Sunderland, United have claimed wins at Watford, Swansea City, Derby County, Luton Town, and Queens Park Rangers. Of the 18 matches played away from home this season, the Blades have won 11 and drawn 4. They have picked up the most points away from home above any other Championship club.
