Match preview
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.
This comes as the Blades set about recovering from an alarming pair of results over the course of the last week.
After long establishing themselves as one of the in-form teams across England’s 2nd tier, Sheffield United were first brought crashing down to earth last Wednesday, when a rampant Middlesbrough outfit recovered from a goal down, to ultimately emerge from Bramall Lane on the right side of a 3-1 result.
Paul Heckingbottom’s men then followed up with a 2nd defeat on the spin this past weekend.
Such woes have proven altogether alarming when it comes to the Blades’ promotion pursuit, with Middlesbrough, riding high on the back of nine wins from ten, now just four points adrift of Heckingbottom and co. in 2nd.

Safe to say, then, that all associated with Sheffield United will have their sights firmly set on a three-point haul this weekend.
Such a result, though, is unlikely to prove an easy one to come by.
This comes with upcoming opponents Watford having established themselves as something of a tough nut to crack of late.
Though they have not exactly set the world alight, the Hornets have slipped to defeat in just one of their previous seven, and even that came at the hands of the aforementioned Middlesbrough.
This stretch includes a hugely commendable point at runaway table-toppers Burnley, and, most recently, a pulsating win over West Bromwich Albion earlier in the week.
After twice being pegged back by the Baggies, Ken Sema’s 2nd of the night inside the closing quarter of an hour ultimately proved the difference in a five-goal thriller.
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.
It therefore goes without saying that Saturday’s clash at Bramall Lane represents one of major significance for both sides.
And we at 101 are backing the spoils to ultimately be shared, upon the final whistle bringing proceedings between Sheffield United and Watford to a close.
