Sheffield United Team News
Sheffield United hasn’t not been in good form recently. They won only two games from the last six in the Championship and they lost a touch with Burnley. Burnley is now 12 points clear at the top of the table and the most worrying thing for Sheffield is Middlesborough who is now only seven points behind.
The race for the second place and the automatic promotion will be interesting until the end. Middlesborough has much better schedule in the next couple of weeks and they can put Sheffield under huge pressure.
Sheffield lost back-to-back games against Middlesbrough and Millwall in three days before the beat Watford at Bramall Lane on Saturday. That win against Watford was very important. That game was one of those when you don’t play nothing special but somehow wins. That was something that Sheffield needed very much.
The Blades are struggling recently. When they win they done that in hard way and in the last month they drop in form.
Sheffield failed to score only once in the last 16 games but on some occasions recently they conceded to many goals. They conceded three goals against Wrexham, a team from the fifth tier, three against Millwall, and three against Middlesbrough.
Sheffield has the third best attack in the Championship with 55 goals scored and the second best defence with 30 goals conceded.
Tottenham Team News
Since that defeat against Manchester City at Etihad, where they have 2-0 lead after the first 45 minutes, Tottenham has five wins in the last seven games. They improve their form and that defeat at King Power against Leicester is the only game where they were terrible.
The most important thing in recent weeks is that Tottenham manage to improve defence. They are struggling with defence during the season pretty much. They were conceding goals very easy and now they has have five clean sheets in the last seven games.
These weeks will be key for Tottenham for the rest of the season. They beat Chelsea, and in the next three weeks, starting with this one, they will have games against Sheffield to stay in the FA Cup (and potential 6th round of the FA Cup if they beat Sheffield), the second leg against AC Milan, to stay in the Champions League, and games against Wolves and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League to stay in the top 4. All of these games they will play before the International break.
So, they can be in a very good position when April starts or this season will be lost in the next few weeks.
Antonio Conte is not with the team and it’s not known if he will be with the team at Bramall Lane. He has a surgery and must rest in Italy. In recent weeks, after terrible performance against Leicester, he change a system. He put Ben Davies and Emerson Royal to play wing-backs instead Ivan Perisic and Pedro Porro, because Perisic and Porro were terrible against Leicester. They leave to much space for Leicester attack and with Davies and Royal, Tottenham is more defensive oriented.
For this game against Sheffield United, Conte will rotate squad and probably Perisic and Porro will start, maybe Danjuma, Sarr, and also Son, who was on the bench in the last two games.
Tottenham has two back-to-back defeat away from home.

Sheffield United vs Tottenham Prediction
Tottenham starting to improve form in recent weeks. They know how important the next few weeks are and they want to stay in all competitions after the international break.
The FA Cup is one of the target for the club this season because that is the only competition where they can try to win a trophy. Does Sheffield can cause problems to Tottenham? Sure, without a doubt. They are very good team, and they are in 2nd place in Championship.
But they drop in form recently are potential problem and potential chance for Tottenham.
