Sheffield United are coming off another loss and the relegation is almost certain for them. They will now play out their chances on Wednesday when they will play host to Aston Villa. Aston Villa have been rather unstable themselves but are coming off another away win, this time against Leeds.

Sheffield United (3-21-2) fought really hard in their home match against Liverpool over the weekend, but conceded two goals in the second half (one was an own goal) to eventually lose by 0-2. They have now lost 4 in a row in the EPL and have failed to score in each of their last three. Sheffield United are still stuck in the bottom of the EPL with just 11 points after 26 matches, scoring just 15 goals and conceding 43 in the process. They also have the worst home record in the league (2-10-1), scoring 9 and conceding 20 goals in the process.

Aston Villa (12-9-3) scored an early goal in their away match against Leeds and held on to the result. That win was just their 2nd in their last 5 matches (2-2-1), and they have been very unstable in 2021 (4-6-1). Aston Villa are sitting at the 9th spot of the league table with 39 points, scoring 38 and conceding 26 goals in the process. They have been quite competitive on the road so far (7-4-2), scoring 18 and conceding just 10 goals.

Aston Villa beat Sheffield United by a slim 0-1 at home in the reverse fixture but remained win-less against them last season (0-1-1). Sheffield United are theoretically fighting for their lives in each match but that doesn’t translate to results. Aston Villa are chasing a top-5 finish (5 points behind) and have the first say regarding the win here.
