Both sides head in to the final two Premier League fixtures with little to play for, with Steve Bruce's side narrowly avoiding following their opponents into the Championship.

The Blades go into the match full of of confidence after an impressive 1-0 away win at Everton last time out and are hoping to win consecutive league matches for the first time since July 2020.

But Bruce will want to see his side put in a performance that doesn't leave Geordies chanting 'Bruce out' on their return to the stadium.

Sheffield United won the reverse fixture 1-0 in January courtesy of a Billy Sharp penalty.

Our prediction: Newcastle v Sheffield United

Newcastle have found a purple patch in front of goal in their past two games with seven goals scored, including three against champions Manchester City last time out.

Joe Willock is the man of the moment at present while Joelinton has also found some good form, and they'll both be hoping to add to their goal tallies against a sometimes sloppy Sheffield United defence.

The Blades certainly haven't downed tools since being relegated as last week's win on Merseyside showed, but they'll need to be at their best once again to snatch a win in front of Newcastle's passionate fans.

Our prediction: Newcastle 2-1 Sheffield United (8/1 at bet365)
