⁠Sheffield United vs Swansea City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Blades are one of the only two sides to remain unbeaten this season.

Sheffield United have started the season in brilliant form becoming one of the only two teams to maintain a unbeaten streak in the Championship thus far. Blades have gathered 13 points from the opening seven matches while boasting the best defensive record in the competition with four clean sheets.

Chris Wilder’s team has put on a series of impressive performances on the road as they aim to return to the Premier League next season. So far, everything is looking good for the Blades who are slowly becoming a well-balanced team. 

Meanwhile, Swansea City have also made a decent start to the season. They currently find themselves in the ninth position in the championship standings after match seven gathering 11 points on the road.

After suffering some poor results, the team is starting to produce results gathering seven points from the last three matches.
