Blades v Bluebirds. Match preview

Last updated : 17 December 2004 By Michael Morris
City are in South Yorkshire for another crucial Championship game. The midday kick off at Bramall Lane sees in form Sheff Utd face the out of form Bluebirds.

Utd have only lost once in their last 14 games but if there's any hope it's that at home they have drawn the last 3.

City have lost 4 of the last 5. A home win is the bookies favourite.

Stranger things have happened. I have a feeling we can get a result.

On the pitch City should welcome back Danny Gabbidon into the defence. Neil Harris will start, Paul Parry may start, and so might Neil Alexander.

A possible City line up could be

Alexander, Williams, Gabbidon, Collins, Barker, McAnuff, Kavanagh, Ledley, Parry, Thorne, Harris.

Utd can choose new signing Danny Cullip who joined from Brighton on Friday.
City will stay out of the bottom 3 after Forest drew at home to Leicester on Friday night.
