Fulham v Sheffield United: match preview

Fulham can sense daylight in their bid to escape relegation although plenty will depend on their ability to defeat the division’s bottom side. Four points from two away games over the past week was a fine haul but it is high time they won a home game, something they have not achieved since 2 November. Sheffield United’s revival has stalled in the past fortnight and this feels like something of a final throw of the dice for Chris Wilder’s side, who will surely lose any remaining hope if they cannot take the spoils on Saturday evening.
