Aston Villa will hope to make it two wins on the bounce and move eighth in the Premier League when they arrive at Bramall Lane to tackle lowly Sheffield United on Wednesday.

Villa edged Leeds 1-0 last time out to make it three Premier League fixtures in their last four without defeat.

Dean Smith’s troops narrowly beat Sheffield United 1-0 at Villa Park back in September on the opening day of the league season.

Since then Villa have gone from strength to strength, while the Blades have languished at the foot of the table for effectively the entire campaign.

United come into this game having lost their last four straight league outings, which includes the spirited but ultimately futile 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.

Our prediction: Sheffield United v Aston Villa

Villa were rock solid against Leeds last time out and they will be able to flex their forward muscles a little more at Bramall Lane here.

Don’t expect Smith to go all-out for a thrashing, though. The boss will be wary of Sheffield United’s battling spirit which could cause a surprise or two in South Yorkshire.

The visitors should win this game but United will give a good show of themselves.

Our prediction: Sheffield United 1-3 Aston Villa (18/1 at bet365)
