Sheffield United will host Rotherham United at Bramall Lane in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking to extend their unbeaten run to seven games.
The Blades are on a roll, winning four of their last five games, and sitting atop the league table with 17 points from eight games. However, Paul Heckingbottom's side are also blighted by a plethora of injuries, with as many as eight players sidelined with fitness concerns.
Rotherham, meanwhile, are down in 13th place with just ten points from seven games and just one win in their last six across competitions. During this period, the Millers were knocked out from the second round of the EFL Cup following a 1-0 defeat to Morecambe.

Sheffield United vs Rotherham United Prediction
Sheffield are the form team here, and their recent record in the fixture is also good. The Blades have lost just one of their last 14 meetings with Rotherham, who're not in their best shape right now. Despite being hit by a plethora of injuries, the hosts should prevail.
Prediction: Sheffield United 3-1 Rotherham United
