Back the visitors to win this one. In 36 matches played in the Championship, the Blades have found the back of the net 56 times, 37 of which coming from assists. Sunderland will surely look to get the best results at home, but Sheffield’s edge on both offense and defense will be seen in this game. In their last six in the Championship, Sheffield was defeated four times. In addition, James McAtee and Anel Ahmedhodžić have six goal involvements for the Blades. However, Billy Sharp, Ciaran Clark, and George Baldock should be careful in picking fouls, as another yellow card will have them suspended for the next games. Anthony Patterson, who has 11 clean sheets and one assist in this campaign, will be the starting goalie for Sunderland. However, the Blades were caught in a rut in their last few games. Sheffield United has been making a remarkable run of their own, ranking second in the league to safely give them a promotion to the Premier League. The Mackems post the 17th-best record when playing at home, earning 23 points out of 17 games played in the Stadium of Light. Jack Clarke leads the team in assists with six, while Ellis Simms and Patrick Roberts have nine goal contributions for the team. Sunderland now ranks 12th in the Championship, earning 52 points from 36 matches played.

We can't be fearful, we are in a fantastic position in the league and in the quarter-final of the cup." This week could be a huge week in careers for the players and the history of the club, that is what we are playing for. We showed good mentality to get back into it, the energy and bravery we wanted to show. To concede the way we did was a kick in the teeth. We were really bright, brave and sharp with the ball.
