Sheffield United failed to pair their win over Tottenham with another, as they were held to a draw against Burnley. They will now return home for their next task, where they will play host to Wolves on Wednesday. Wolves saw their undefeated streak come to an end in the tough match against Arsenal on Saturday.

Sheffield United (12-9-12) are coming into this match after a rather fair 1-1 draw on the road against Burnley. Prior to that they did beat Tottenham by 1-3 at home but they had three consecutive losses before that. Sheffield United are now sitting at the 9th spot of the league table with 48 points, seven behind the 5th Manchester United and the Europa League ticket. They have an 8-5-3 record at home, losing just one of their last five (3-1-1) and keeping the 2nd best home defense in the PL (14 goals).

Wolves (13-7-13) were really bad in the offensive end of their home match against Arsenal, and they eventually conceded once in each half to lose by an easy 2-0. That loss came after a six-match undefeated streak (4-0-2), where hey had only conceded a single goal. Wolves are sitting at the 6th spot of the league table, only three points behind the 5th spot that leads to the Europa League. They have the 3rd best away record in the league (7-3-6), losing just one of their last seven in all competitions (4-1-2).

The two teams split the points in a 1-1 draw earlier in the season, but Sheffield United have been quite good as hosts against Wolves over the years (8-4-5). Wolves know that a win here would keep them pretty much alive in the hunt for the 5th spot. I expect a really careful match between the two sides here.
