Sheffield United vs Newcastle Preview

Newcastle enjoyed a good week with a win over Brentford and draw with AC Milan in the Champions League. I'm backing them to win this match and continue Sheffield United's winless start to the Premier League season.

Sheffield United Form

Sheffield United has just one point from their five matches following a tough start to life back in the Premier League.

The Blades were beaten 2-1 by Tottenham in their last match when conceding twice in injury-time.

The defeat followed a 2-2 draw against Everton, which was Paul Heckingbottom's side's only point of the season so far.

Sheffield United Team News

Sheffield United have a long list of players unavailable for this match with as many as 12 potentially ruled out.

Oliver McBurnie is suspended after a red card against Tottenham.

Newcastle Form

Newcastle return to Premier League action following a 0-0 draw in the Champions League against AC Milan on Tuesday.

It continued a positive week for the Magpies after a hard-fought 1-0 win at home to Brentford last weekend to end a run of three defeats in the league.

Eddie Howe's side are 12th in the Premier League table after a mixed start to the season of two wins and three defeats.

Newcastle Team News

Newcastle will be without Joelinton due to a knee injury.

Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron could return to the starting line-up.

Verdict

Sheff Utd v Newcastle

Sheffield United have just a single point to their name and suffered injury-time heartache last weekend. I'm backing the visitors to take the points at Bramall Lane and continue their improving form.

Newcastle Win
