Bristol City vs Sheffield United – Preview

Bristol City vs Sheffield United – Preview Bristol City host Sheffield United at Ashton Gate on Monday afternoon in the Sky Bet Championship. The Robins come into this fixture looking to build on what has been a relatively steady campaign, though they seemed primed for a run at the top six in the early parts of the season. They have proven to be a competitive side, but one win since February means they currently sit 10 points off the play-off spots.

The Blades have lacked consistency all season and their recent 3-3 draw at home to Swansea City now means they have dropped a whopping 30 points from winning positions. Chris Wilder has quite rightly pointed out that getting even 50% of those points back would see United in the top six, which is the most frustrating part. Team News Bristol City have several injuries to deal with, particularly at the back.

George Tanner, Rob Atkinson, Rob Dickie and Luke McNally have all been sidelined for a number of weeks and looking like they could all miss the rest of the campaign. Midfielder Josh Williams is another one of those to add to that list, while Ross McRorie becomes the most recent injury concern after Good Friday’s win over Charlton Athletic. United won’t have Tyrese Campbell available for the rest of the season, Wilder confirmed last week.

Joe Rothwell got some minutes under his belt against Swansea. Midfielder Kalvin Phillips is also trying to work his way back to full fitness. Bristol City’s Impact Player For This Game For Bristol City, a player who could have a major influence on this contest is Scott Twine.
