SHEFFIELD UNITED

Sheffield United finished last in the Premier League last season and their relegation was confirmed with 6 games still to go. This was a harsh outcome for a team that had played some decent football at times. The Championship can also be a tough place so they have to give their best performances.

Sheffield United will be counting on their striking force of Rhian Brewster, Oli McBurnie and David McGoldrick to carry them through the Championship. They may not have delivered a lot in the Premier League but they are proven at this level.

BIRMINGHAM

Birmingham have been stuck in the Championship for the last 10 seasons and will need huge performances if they are to dream of making a return to the Premier League. Opening the season with a win will certainly help towards such belief.

Manager Lee Bowyer is starting his full league campaign as Birmingham manager and has a lot to prove. He has to get the team winning again consistently as the pre-season friendlies have not been impressive enough. Just one win in four games.

Possible Line Ups

OUR TIP

Despite their relegation, Sheffield United finished their Premier League season strongly with 3 wins in 4 matches. They have retained most of their first team members and should therefore have a team strong enough to take 3 points here.

Birmingham’s last season finish and performances in the preseason games have not been impressive. In particualr, they need to improve their striking as they are just not getting enough goals. It will be difficult for them to get anything in this game.
