Sheffield United are set to play host to Brighton & Hove Albion at Bramall Lane on Saturday for their latest English Premier League fixture.
Sheffield United come into this game on the back of a 1-0 loss to Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolverhampton Wanderers last Sunday at the Molineux Stadium. A second-half goal from Brazilian striker Willian Jose, on loan from Real Sociedad, ensured victory for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Brighton & Hove Albion, on the other hand, drew 0-0 against Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea yesterday at Stamford Bridge. Both sides produced lacklustre performances, with focus on the protests against the European Super League. Brighton & Hove Albion had centre-back Ben White sent off late in the second-half.

Brighton & Hove Albion, on the other hand, are 16th in the Premier League, seven points ahead of 18th-placed Fulham who have played a game more. The Seagulls have played some good football but have struggled to finish their chances, something they will need to address in the summer transfer window.
