Swansea City continued their struggle in their last match, losing 3-0 to Cardiff City. They controlled the game with 70% possession of the ball but weren’t clinical in their attack and were able to manage just two shots on target.
The Swans are winless in their last four games, losing three. However, they remain unbeaten in their previous three games, winning two. Their defence has not been in great form after conceding in 13 of their last 14 games. They sit 13th on the table with 34 points in 27 games, scoring 30 goals and conceding 33. However, Kristian Pedersen and Oliver Cooper are ruled out due to injuries.
Sheffield United

Sheffield United returned to winning ways after the FA Cup setback with a 2-0 win over Norwich in their last game. Harrison Burrows opened the scoring in the 22nd minute before he got his brace from the spot in the 59th minute. They have won their last two games in the Championship and are unbeaten in seven of their last eight games on the road.
The Blades sit second on the table with 55 points in 27 games, scoring 38 goals and conceding 17. Tyrese Campbell returned to action against Norwich after missing eight games, and I think he will start from the bench in this game. However, Kieffer Moore, Ollie Arblaster, Sai Sachdev and Harry Souttar are ruled out of this game due to injuries.
Possible Starting 11
Swansea City — Lawrence Vigouroux, Josh Key, Ben Cabango, Harry Darling, Josh Tymon, Ronald, Gonçalo Franco, Liam Cullen, Matt Grimes, Ji-sung Eom, Joe Allen.
Sheffield United — Michael Cooper, Alfie Gilchrist, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Jack Robinson, Sam McCallum, Femi Seriki, Sydie Peck, Callum O'Hare, Gustavo Hamer, Harrison Burrows, Rhian Brewster.

Expert Betting Tips
I think bettors should milk the great odds given to Sheffield United in this game because they are one of the best teams in the Championship this season and have performed well on the road. They have lost just one of their last eight games on the road. Also, I see them keeping a clean sheet because they kept a clean sheet in each of their last five games against Swansea. Moreover, they have been decent at the back since the season started, boosting the second-best defence in the league.
