The stats
Sheffield United have won each of their last three games against Stoke, winning the most recent encounter 2-0 in the Potteries in April 2025.
The Potters have kept seven clean sheets this season — more than any other team in the Championship.
United have won their last three league games and have netted exactly three goals in each one. The last time the Blades won four in a row by scoring three or more goals in each fixture came during their League One days in April 2017.
Stoke have won just two of their last 16 trips at Bramall Lane with those victories coming in April 2004 and December 2007.
The Potters have 30 points to be 11 clear of Sheffield United — their highest lead ahead of a league meeting with the Blades since the sides clashed in March 1996.

Prediction
Sheffield United endured a losing start to the season under Ruben Selles but have turned a corner under Chris Wilder who returned for a third spell at the club in September.
The Blades have won three straight matches in the Championship and are now favourites to beat a Stoke side who travel to Bramall Lane sat fourth in the table.
The Potters have enjoyed strong results under Mark Robins but have hit a bump in the road, losing three of their last four league matches.
While United will be confident of earning another three points, another smart pick could be backing over 2.5 goals in the game.
Stoke have kept more clean sheets than any other side in the Championship this season but the Blades’ firepower up front with Tyrese Campbell, Patrick Bamford, Tom Cannon and Danny Ings to choose from means that they have a strong chance of finding the back of the net more than once on Saturday.
Three or more goals have been scored in seven of United’s last eight matches while three or more goals have been netted in five of Stoke’s last six games.
