What are the betting odds?

Sky Bet have Sheffield United to win at 13/8, a draw at 23/10 and a Bristol win at 13/8.

What is the form of United and City?

The Blades are riding high and come into the fixture on the back of four league victories against QPR, Norwich, Bolton and Villa, and are currently 3rd in the table.

Bristol have also had a strong start to the season and are just one point behind Chris Wilder's side in 6th place after three straight wins.

However the Robins have only won one match at home so far this season, which could work in United's favour.
