Form, Standings, Stats

We said: Sheffield United 1-1 Middlesbrough

Both teams are in particularly strong runs of form, and while Boro will be desperate for all three points and have the quality to harm the second-placed Blades, we do not see them coming out on top at Bramall Lane and instead envisage a share of the spoils which would keep Heckingbottom's men 10 points clear.
