Watford, as a result, sit on the outside looking in at the promotion playoff spots, but locked on points with both Millwall and Luton Town in 5th and 6th respectively. A Sheffield United outfit desperate for a bounce-back result are set to act as hosts in a Championship showdown with fellow promotion suitors Watford this Saturday, February 25th. Our recommended bet for Saturday’s clash at Bramall Lane comes in the form of a draw between Sheffield United and Watford, featuring goals from both teams.

Louza came off worse in a strong 50/50 clash with Egan deep in home territory, but was soon back to his feet, and then Sarr showed a flash of his class with a driven shot that deflected out off Anel Ahmedhodžić. Max Lowe was at the forefront of a Blades push forward in response, with his effort deflected out following a long Jack Robinson throw, and the former was then involved with a tussle with Davis that sparked penalty calls from the away end. Davis was unable to convert a good chance for the Golden Boys in the second half, while Ismaïla Sarr was a threat, but goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann remained busy and after having a goal ruled out United eventually snatched the winner with 17 minutes left.

An own goal in the second half by Ryan Porteous secured maximum points for the hosts at Bramall Lane.

Despite entering the box on various occasions, Slaven Bilic's side were unable to test Foderingham late on. Norwood's corner found McBurnie at the far post, whose header back across goal caused an unfortunate Porteous to turn the ball into his own net. His effort from 18 yards out curled just over the crossbar.

The Blades entertain the Hornets at Bramall Lane in need of a win after back-to-back defeats.
