Sheffield United host Swansea City at Bramall Lane in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking to return to winning ways.
The Blades saw their run of four consecutive wins end with back-to-back goalless draws against Huddersfield Town and Hull City.
Regardless, Paul Heckingbottom's side moved up from 10th place to eighth, with 47 points accumulated from 30 games.
The Swans recovered from a 3-0 pounding at Stoke with a 3-1 win against Bristol in their last outing, which brought them up to 16th position.
However, they've lost on their last two trips and risk losing for a third away game in a row for the first time since a run of seven between February and April 2019.
