Sheffield United vs Nottm Forest Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips | PL
Sheffield United vs Nottm Forest Preview:
- Date: 4th May, Saturday
- Kick-off Time: 2:00 PM (GMT)
- Stadium: Bramall Lane
In an important match in the lower half of the Premier League, Sheffield United will host Nottingham Forest at Bramall Lane on Matchday 36 in the English Premier League. Sheffield are all but definitely relegation-bound as the Blades sit last in the Premier League table with a tally of only 16 points. With three games to go till the season ends, even victory in all three ties cannot save Sheffield. However, the Blades will certainly enter the tie at Bramall Lane with a lot of eagerness as a win for them could definitely prove to be detrimental to Nottingham Forest’s security in the Premier League.
Visiting Bramall Lane is Nottingham. The Reds have had a topsy-turvy season and are now in desperate need of points if they are to avoid relegation. They currently sit in 16th place, a point above 17th-ranked Luton Town. If Luton manages to string together a couple of victories, Nottingham’s continuation in the league next year could certainly be in doubt if they lose. A tie against relegation-bound Sheffield offers the Reds an opportunity to turn their poor recent run of form and win.
Sheffield United vs Nottm Forest Team News:
Sheffield United:
The Blades have been poor all season and have put their flaws on display recently as they lost four on the trot. Their latest outing in the Premier League resulted in embarrassment as well as the club received a thrashing from Newcastle United who beat them 5-1 last weekend. However, while Sheffield have certainly been poor it would be unfair to ignore their extremely long injury list.

In the Sheffield United vs Nottm Forest battle, Sheffield will miss the services of several critical players like Chris Basham, George Baldock, James McAtee and Tom Davies. While Basham has been ruled out with a long-term injury as he broke his foot earlier in the season, Baldock sustained a worry thigh injury back in March. James McAtee will unfortunately miss the Sheffield United vs Nottm Forest tie with a strain.
The Blades will also be deprived of the services of Oliver McBurnie and Rhian Brewster. Both the talented players sustained serious injuries and are unlikely to return this season. Fullback Max Lowe will also return next season as his ankle injury will take a long time to heal.
Another major blow for Sheffield will be the absence of Rhys Norrington Davies. The talented fullback has been on the sidelines since February and will continue to do so at least for the Sheffield United vs Nottm Forest tie.
Nottm Forest:
While Nottingham Forest will also miss key players against Sheffield, their injury list is considerably shorter. In attack, Taiwo Awoniyi’s injury is likely to keep the striker on the sidelines for a few more days as he recovers from his muscle injury.

Meanwhile, in defense Nottingham is unlikely to recover Willy Boly in time for the Sheffield United vs Nottm Forest tie. The lanky defender has been suffering from several injury setbacks recently and is unlikely to make it in time for the tie. While Neco Williams did seem to have picked up an injury last week, he might feature in the weekend fixture.
