League goals are a bit like buses for Billy Sharp who waited for a full seven months to grab his first for Sheffield United and then two came along in the space of a couple of games.
It was good news for punters who backed him in the 'first scorer' betting as the strike against Coventry and his goal at home to Norwich last week put the Blades 1-0 ahead.
A third consecutive opener for the ex-Scunthorpe man will be well fancied then in the South Yorkshire derby against Barnsley at Oakwell, especially as it's on offer at 15/2 with Betfred.
At Hillsborough, with top scorers Akpo Sodje and Marcus Tudgay possibly both missing, the onus could be on Enoch Showunmi and Deon Burton to fire Sheffield Wednesday to victory against Crystal Palace.
The former, who has yet to open his Owls account, is a bulky 7/1 with Blue Square to notch his and Wednesday's first while the latter is on offer at 8/1 (bet365) to do likewise in the match.
