  • Recommended bet: Sheffield United to win

Blackburn are still looking for their first home win of the season when they host Sheffield United in the Championship on Tuesday night.

The Blades, meanwhile, are slowly recovering from their horror start under Ruben Selles and appear to be on the right track again under Chris Wilder after beating Watford 1-0 at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

Team news

Blackburn will assess Lewis Miller after the defender went off at Coventry on Saturday after falling on his back.

Rovers are still without Todd Cantwell due to a knee injury, while Hayden Carter, Harry Pickering and Moussa Baradji are all sidelined too.

Sheffield United midfielders Gustavo Hamer and Tom Davies both missed the win over Watford and are not expected to be back for the trip to Ewood Park, while Ben Godfrey is sidelined along with Oliver Arblaster and Tahith Chong.

The stats

Sheffield United have won five of their last eight league games against Blackburn.

Sheffield United won this fixture last season 2-0 but have failed to win consecutive league visits to Blackburn since November 1970.

Blackburn are yet to win a home league game this season after four attempts (one draw, three defeats).

Sheffield United have lost seven of their last nine away league games, winning two.

Prediction

Blackburn were denied a first home win of the season last month when leading against Ipswich at Ewood Park before the game was abandoned late on due to heavy rain and a waterlogged pitch.

The wait has continued after losing to Swansea and drawing with Stoke at Ewood Park since, and the unwanted run could continue with Sheffield United up next.

The Blades appear to have turned a corner following the return of Wilder as boss. The experienced manager has guided them to two wins in four games with Sheffield United beating Watford 1-0 on Saturday having won at Oxford United at the end of September.

However, any win will likely be a tight one, with United failing to score more than one goal in any match so far this season.

Rovers, though, have conceded eight goals in four games so the visitors should be confident heading to East Lancashire.

This is an early season six-pointer and victory for Sheffield United could see the Blades move out the relegation zone for the first time in the campaign.
