Before The Whistle: Sheffield United v Fulham

As our resident genius himself says: “we’re in a good moment”.

That’s what you want when you travel to somewhere like Bramall Lane – but if you get complacent you’ll be in for a shock.

Were fourth in the form table for the last six games and we have a fully fit squad to select from (barring any last-minute international duty assessments), so I’d expect an unchanged XI from the side that quelled Tottenham with ease a couple of weeks ago.

It’d be nice to see Tim Ream at some point; our American centre-back is set to be honoured on the weekend following his compassionate actions when Chris Basham suffered his horrific injury at the Cottage in October.

Win and we would equal the number of games it took us to breach 40 points last season. And that’s a helluva achievement in the historically challenging second campaign. You Whites.
