Match preview

Improvements in Sheffield United's form are patchy at best, certainly not enough to suggest they should be such a short price at home to Coventry.

The Blades have failed to win five of their eight home games, hardly a ringing endorsement of their form at Bramall Lane and hardly a compelling statistic to entice punters in at around evens.

Coventry, the side who fired four past Fulham and went into the international break by beating Bristol City 3-2 despite playing the second half with ten men, are fourth in the table and there on merit.

United are struggling to find the net – 22 scored in 17 – and have won only one of their last five. They will find a confident Coventry hard to overcome.
