Sheffield United vs Plymouth Argyle Prediction: Easy win in store for Blades

Sheffield United welcome Plymouth Argyle to Bramall Lane on Saturday afternoon (15:00) for a game that could have ramifications at both ends of the Championship table.

Team News

Sheffield United will remain without Tyrese Campbell and Oliver Arblaster due to injuries, while Anel Ahmedhodzic also missed Wednesday's trip to Millwall with a knock so he could miss out again here.

Vinicius Souza is a fresh concern after being forced off in the second half at The Den in midweek, so Tom Davies could be handed his first start of the season as a result.

As for the visitors, Joe Edwards, Ibrahim Cissoko and Morgan Whittaker remain sidelined, however Adam Forshaw will return from suspension.

Sheffield United to win to nil @ 9/10

Sheffield United are on a run of eight successive league home wins - stretching back to 17 wins in their last 20 home games - and should be too strong for second-bottom Plymouth at Bramall Lane.

The Blades have the second-best defensive record in the division and are likely to keep a clean sheet against the Pilgrims, who have netted only three times on their travels.

In addition, Wayne Rooney's side haven’t scored in their three league games away from home against teams in the top six this season.

Over 3.5 goals @ 6/4

Plymouth have conceded 40 goals so far this term - the highest amount in the Championship so I'm expecting the goals to rack up at Bramall Lane.

In addition, this bet has landed in three of Plymouth's last four outings, while the Blades are one of the highest-scoring teams in the Championship with 28 strikes in 20 games.

Given their recent struggles and lack of confidence, it's easy to see how Plymouth could be on the receiving end of a thumping here.
