Sheffield United travel to face Swansea City at the Swansea.com Stadium on Saturday for their second game of the Championship season.
Following a humiliating 4-1 home defeat to Bristol City, Sheffield United are desperate for their first points, while the Swans will also be trying to recover from a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in their first game.
Both teams will be desperate to get their season back on course; Alan Sheehan’s Swansea team must solve their lack of attacking threat that plagued them at the Riverside Stadium. Under new coach Rubén Sellés, Sheffield United find themselves under early pressure after a bad start following Chris Wilder’s exit in June.
