The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Brentford take on a struggling Sheffield United side in an important clash at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.
Brentford vs Sheffield United Preview
Sheffield United are currently rooted to the bottom of the Premier League standings and have been in poor form so far this season. The away side held Chelsea to an admirable 2-2 draw last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Brentford, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The Bees played out a 3-3 draw against Aston Villa in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.

- Brentford are winless in their last six matches in league competitions against Sheffield United, with their previous such victory coming by a 3-1 scoreline at home in 2013.

Sheffield United have been in dismal form in the Premier League but have shown flashes of improvement over the past month. Brentford are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
