刀片对游客来说太锋利了
谢菲尔德联队已经从上赛季反弹回来了；他们在英超联赛中以某种方式降级，他们的主场战绩尤其引人注目，因为他们在自己的补丁上获得了过去24分中的22分。。
自从在首场主场比赛中与女王公园巡游者队战成2-2平以来，刀锋队在布拉马尔巷赢得了七场比赛，值得注意的是，他们在所有这些比赛中都保持了零失球。
晋级对手桑德兰的访问将考验这一专横的主场记录，但黑猫队将在五场比赛中没有获胜就前往南约克郡。
桑德兰在晋级前步履蹒跚
桑德兰避风港’；事实上，在他们持续的无赢比赛中，他们并没有输，因为他们已经打了五场比赛，但雷吉斯·勒·布里斯（Regis Le Bris）的胜利已经枯竭；因为他们在目前的粘性咒语中也没有得分三次。
与东道主一样，黑猫队整个赛季在联赛中只输了两次，尽管这两场失利都发生在普利茅斯和沃特福德。
他们对阵谢菲尔德联队的战绩也很糟糕；在面对刀锋队时，他们已经输掉了四场联赛；桑德兰’；周五晚上，他的晋升希望可能会受到进一步打击。

- No team has collected more home points in the Championship this season than Sheffield United
- The Blades have won seven matches on the spin at Bramall Lane, keeping clean-sheets in all of those
- Sunderland have gone five matches without a victory, failing to score three times during that run
Blades too sharp for visitors
Sheffield United have bounced back from last season’s Premier League relegation in some style, with their home record particularly catching the eye, as they have taken 22 points from the last 24 available on their own patch..
Since drawing 2-2 with Queens Park Rangers in their opening home match, the Blades have won seven matches on the spin at Bramall Lane and, remarkably, they have kept clean-sheets in all of those games.
The visit of promotion rivals Sunderland will put that imperious home record to the test, but the Black Cats will head to South Yorkshire without a win in five matches.
Sunderland stuttering ahead of promotion clash
Sunderland haven’t actually lost during their ongoing winless run, as they have drawn five matches on the spin, but it is not just victories that have dried up for Regis Le Bris’ side, as they have also failed to score three times during their current sticky spell.
Like their hosts, the Black Cats have only lost twice all season in the league, although both of those defeats have come on the road at Plymouth and Watford.
With their record against Sheffield United also poor – they have lost four league matches on the spin when facing the Blades – Sunderland’s promotion hopes could be dealt a further blow on Friday night.
There is not likely to be much between the two sides though, with just one goal separating them in eight of the last 10 meetings, which brings a 1-0 Sheffield United victory firmly into play.
