Sheffield United vs Nottingham Forest
Forest won two of their first three Premier League matches under Nuno Espirito Santo to ease relegation fears. However, the Tricky Trees have since been victorious in two of their previous 15 outings in the top flight and are only above the drop zone on goal difference after Luton drew 1-1 with Everton yesterday. The visitors hosted champions Manchester City in their last match, losing 2-0 despite creating an xG (expected goals) of 1.93 to the Citizens' 0.87. Chris Wood missed two massive opportunities to level the score after Josko Gvardiol's opener before Erling Haaland came off the bench to double City's lead. The Tricky Trees are also waiting for the results of their appeal against a four-point deduction for breaching profit and sustainability rules, which could have a massive impact on the relegation battle.
Sheffield United vs Nottingham Forest
The Blades are at the bottom of the Premier League and are playing for pride after being relegated from the top flight in their previous outing. United had to beat the Magpies to keep their unlikely survival hopes alive and took the lead at St James' Park through Anel Ahmedhodzic. However, Chris Wilder's sides defensive frailties showed again, going on to lose 5-1. It has been a dismal season for the Blades, who have only won three of their 35 outings, conceding a massive 97 goals.
