Stoke City welcome Sheffield United to the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday looking to extend an impressive recent run in the Championship. Mark Robins’ side have taken 10 points from their last four league games, including victories over Norwich, Charlton and Watford, after losing their opening three matches of the campaign.
Eric Bocat has been particularly influential, contributing two goals and two assists in the league so far, while Stoke’s recent improvement has given them momentum heading into the weekend.
Sheffield United arrive in Staffordshire seeking a response after a difficult spell. Chris Wilder’s side were beaten 1-0 at home by Wolves last weekend before suffering a surprise 1-0 defeat to League Two Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. The Blades do, however, have a strong recent record against Stoke, winning each of the last five league meetings, while they are also unbeaten in their last five away league matches.
With both sides looking to build consistency, Saturday’s contest should provide an intriguing test of Stoke’s recent resurgence against Sheffield United’s impressive away record
