This game is crucial for relegation battlers Sheffield United. With a win they can go a possible 6 points clear of the drop zone and secure English Premier League football for next season. However they will have their work cut out away from home to an in form villa. Aston Villa have failed to dazzle this season but recent form shows O’Neil’s team may be able to challenge for Europe next season. The home team are currently enjoying a 9 game undefeated run and the potential to finish the season in the top 10. Villa have few injuries and will be looking to carry their momentum in their final 2 games.

Sheffield United will be willing to collect points any way they can. They do sit 3 points clear but are not exactly in a comfortable position. Their recent form has pulled them part of the way out of danger with 2 wins in 3. Villa have the edge going into the match but we believe it will end in a 2-2 draw.
