Swansea City vs Sheffield United prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2022-23
Swansea City will host Sheffield United at the Swansea.com Stadium on Tuesday night in another round of EFL Championship football.
The Swans have struggled to come alive this campaign, failing to replicate the form they showed in the off-season. However, they returned to winning ways last time out with a 1-0 home win over Queens Park Rangers via a first-half strike from Joel Piroe minutes after he had missed a penalty kick.
Swansea City sit 19th in the Championship table with just nine points picked up so far. They are just one point above the drop zone and will be looking to widen that gap on Tuesday.
Sheffield United, meanwhile, have enjoyed a solid start to their season and will fancy themselves early favorites for promotion. They beat Hull City 2-0 in their last outing via goals from Oliver McBurnie and Sander Berge in either half.
The Blades sit atop the league table with 17 points from eight games and will be looking to add to that tally this week.
