Sheffield Utd vs Watford Preview

Newly promoted side, Sheffield United are having the time of their life in the English Premier League. They have defied preseason expectations and are contenders to qualify for European football next season.

Chris Wilder’s men have won plaudits for their attractive brand of football. Their relentless pressing on and off the ball as well as highly organized structure make them the nightmare of any opponent.

The Blades currently sit 5^th on the log and have won three matches on the bounce in the league. They have amassed 28 points in the League and are just 5 points behind Chelsea in 4^th. Their defensive record is the third best in the league and they have conceded just 16 goals all season.

Last season’s FA cup finalists, Watford have failed to build on last season’s 11^th place finish and are rooted firmly on the bottom of the table. They picked up only their second win of the season in their last match, a shock 1-0 win over Manchester United following an equally impressive performance over league leaders, Liverpool.

New Manager, Nigel Pearson has got the side playing with new-found confidence and there is a growing belief among players and supporters that they can go on and turn their season around. The Hornets are only just 4 points behind 17^th placed Southampton and a run of good results in their next couple of matches will do them a world of good.
