Sheffield United vs Brighton Analysis
Both sides are chasing points in relation to their respective ambitions this season and this is a game being courted by all levels of punter at the biggest and best EPL betting sites.
Sheffield United
The Blades looked completely dead and buried up in their Premier League survival bid up until their superb win on the road at Luton Town last weekend, a result that has them looking to engineer a great escape. They remain firmly in the shakeup for relegation with all Premier League betting sites and they know that they need to build on that result here. Home form has been an issue for Sheffield United and they will want to address that in this one.
Team news: John Egan, Tom Davies, and Chris Basham continue to sit on the sidelines for the Blades through injury.
Sheffield United Predicted Lineup:
Wes Foderingham, Jaydon Bogle, Jack Robinson, Anel Ahmedhodžić , George Baldock, Gustavo Hamer, Vinícius Souza, James McAtee, Cameron Archer, Ben Brereton-Diaz & Oli McBurnie.
Brighton
The start of 2024 has been relatively poor for Brighton, who have lost pace in the battle for a top 6 spot, but they have plenty still to play for this term. Having booked their place in the last 16 of the FA Cup and the Europa League, battling on three fronts looks to be catching up with Brighton a touch and they will want to address that here. Losing in the dying embers at Tottenham last time out will frustrate the Seagulls and they will be out to bounce back strongly in this one.
Team news: A pair of creative forces in Julio Encisco and Solly March remained sidelined for Brighton currently.
Brighton Predicted Lineup:
Jason Steele, James Milner, Pervis Estupinian, Lewis Dunk, JP Van Hecke, Pascal Gross, Billy Gilmour, Adam Lallana, Ewan Ferguson, Joao Pedro & Ansu Fati.
