At the beginning of the season, not many people would have predicted the meeting between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Sheffield United this weekend would feature 2 teams in the top 6 of the Premier League.
As things stand in the table ahead of the weekend games, Wolverhampton Wanderers are in 5th place with 19 points and Sheffield United are in 6th place with 18 points. A win for either team could see them close the gap on the top four.
Wolverhampton Wanderers come into this match having been held to a 3-3 draw away at Braga in the Europa League on Thursday night. Having led the match 3-1, Wolves will be disappointed they did not see out the victory but have still qualified for the knockout stages.
Trends show Wolverhampton Wanderers are undefeated in their last five games in all competitions and have lost just one of their last 14 matches. They are undefeated in their last 8 matches in the Premier League and during that run Wolverhampton Wanderers have defeated Watford and Aston Villa at home plus Manchester City and Bournemouth away from home.
Wolves have lost just one of their last 14 home Premier League games and both teams have scored in 10 of their last 12 matches in Premier League.
Sheffield United make the trip to Molineux having picked up a point in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Manchester United last weekend. The Blades found themselves 2-0 up in the second half but conceded 3 quick goals to fall behind before forcing an equaliser close to the end of the game. That result means Sheffield United are undefeated in their last 6 Premier League matches.
During that run they have defeated Arsenal and Burnley at home. Sheffield United are also unbeaten in their last 6 away Premier League games, including one victory which came at Everton. Each of the five other away matches have all ended in a draw against Bournemouth, Chelsea, Watford, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Trends show Sheffield United are on an unbeaten run of 15 away games in all competitions but have achieved just one win in their last 7. Both teams have scored in 4 of their last 6 away Premier League matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and Wolverhampton Wanderers will be assessing their squad following the Europa League game on Thursday night. Willy Boly remains injured with a broken ankle and there are doubts over the fitness of Morgan Gibbs-White, Meritan Shabani and Ryan Bennett.
Sheffield United have doubts over John Egan and Lys Mousset, the latter of which went off injured in the second half against Manchester United last weekend.
This is going to be a tight game between two teams who have been doing well in the Premier League. Sheffield United have proven themselves to be difficult to beat away from home and this match could end level with both teams scoring.
