Sheffield United will take on Birmingham City at Bramall Lane on Saturday afternoon in the EFL Championship.

Sheffield has had a solid season thus far and will feel confident about their chances as early favourites for promotion. In their most recent league game, they defeated Preston North End 2-0. Just before halftime, Iliman Ndiaye scored the game’s first goal, and 15 minutes later, Oliver McBurnie completed the scoring. With 23 points after ten rounds, Sheffield leads the league.

Birmingham, on the other hand, had a tough spell of form in August following a decent start to their campaign. In their most recent match, they were held to a scoreless draw by last-place Coventry City. They are currently 17th in the league, and a win today could get them back in the top 10.

Anel Ahmedhodzic’s injury forced Sheffield United to lose another defender over the international break, adding him to the list of players who are currently out due to injury, including Ciaran Clark, Jack Robinson, Jack O’Connell, Enda Stevens, and Max Lowe. 

Several players are close to returning to full match fitness, with Billy Sharp and Jayden Bogle showing noteworthy improvement.

Scott Hogan, who assisted Sheffield United in gaining promotion to the Premier League in the 2018–19 campaign, will lead Birmingham at Bramall Lane after adding a hat trick against West Brom.

Troy Deeney, who has yet to score this year, will probably join him, while Lucas Jutkiewicz and Manchester United loanee Hannibal Mejbri will also be vying for the starting spot.
