Brentford vs Sheffield Prediction
Both sides have had a poor season so far. Brentford has been riddled with injuries but appears to be putting up a fight in recent games with some players returning. They have three draws in their last three games and held Aston Villa to a 3-3 draw at Villa Park in their last game.
Sheffield, meanwhile, held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at home in their last game. The result should give them some confidence but Brentford’s attacking quality could prove to be too hot to handle for the Blades.
Predicted Score: Brentford 3-1 Sheffield United
