Cardiff City face a trip to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bluebirds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 19 and win only 8 of the 34 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
