Sheffield United will be out to return to winning ways on Wednesday evening when they welcome Swansea City to Bramall Lane. The Blades drew 0-0 at Portsmouth last time out and remain unbeaten in the Championship this season with four victories and three draws to start the campaign.
Swansea have won three of their games, drawing two and losing the other two and sit two points behind the Blades ahead of Wednesday’s Championship contest. The Blades have been in fine form defensively of late, and have not conceded in their last four games. Swansea drew 1-1 at Bristol City in their last fixture, as they took on the Welsh side on Sunday afternoon.
The Blades have been given a slightly longer turnaround for the fixture but both sides are battling a handful of injury concerns each. Below we round up the latest team news from both camps as the sides put the final touches on their preparations for the fixture.
