Sheffield United are now five points behind the big boys (Leeds United and Burnley) in the title and automatic qualification race. Prior to their last three games, they were in the title race when things were going wrong for Leeds United, but they couldn’t capitalize on the poor form of the Whites to gather the needed points to keep them in the race. While they are still mathematically in the title race, the look of things isn’t showing any sign they will make it into the top two with four games remaining this season. They have lost nine points in their last three games, and fans have begun to question their recent drop in form. The Blades will still face Burnley, Stoke City, and Blackburn Rovers in their remaining game of the season.
Sheffield United: Lineup
After an exceptional display in their 2-1 loss to Plymouth in their last game, Jesuran Rak-Sakyi is expected to hold the play alongside Sydie Peck in the midfield, providing a shield for the defence line. Thomas Cannon is expected to lead the attack once again in his attempt to end his 12-game goal drought. Vini Souza is questionable for this clash and will likely be replaced by Hamza Choudhury if he is not fit. Thomas Cannon is expected to continue leading the attack. He has already played 12 games for Sheffield United and continues looking for his first goal for the team.

Cardiff City: Form and statistics
Cardiff City are currently in the relegation pool, and if care is not taken, they may find themselves in the lower division next season. They lost 1-0 to Stoke City in their last game after they have gone four straight games without a loss. However, they packed up three draws and just one win during that run. A team battling relegation at this point of the season will need to get lots of points, but I don't see City doing any magic to get back on track. They remain winless in eight of their last nine games and six of their last seven on the road. They will still face Oxford United, West Brom, and Norwich City in their remaining season fixtures. The Bluebirds are 22nd on the table with 42 points in 42 games, scoring 45 goals and conceding 66.
Cardiff City: Lineup
With no fresh injury, Omer Riza will continue with the same starting lineup as in their previous game. However, Callum Robinson and Yousef Salech will need to do wonders if they really want their team in the Championship next season. At this moment, every point counts.
🔖 Cardiff City predicted starting lineup (3-5-2)
Goalkeeper – Ethan Horvath
Defenders – Perry Ng, William Fish, Jesper Daland
Midfielders – Cian Ashford, Alex Robertson, Calum Chambers, Will Alves, Callum O'Dowda
Attackers — Callum Robinson, Yousef Salech
⛔️ Out: Jak Alnwick (hamstring injury), Anwar El Ghazi (back injury), Joe Ralls (calf injury), Aaron Ramsey (hamstring injury).
👤 Head coach: Omer Riza
