Sheffield United finished 13th in the Championship last season. They're starting the new season at home, and the atmosphere at the Bramall Lane Stadium is electric. They had a 3-0 away win in the EFL Cup and remained unbeaten in several pre-season games, showing strong offensive and defensive performances. However, they lost their midfield core, Hammer, during the summer transfer window. Several midfielders and defenders are injured or suspended, which has affected the midfield's creativity. Their new signings are still in the process of getting used to each other, and their ability to break through or defend against a packed defense in positional play needs to be tested in actual games. Birmingham City finished 10th in the Championship last season, just a short distance from the promotion play - offs. They strengthened multiple positions in the summer transfer window, increasing the depth of their squad. They also secured a 1-0 victory away in the EFL Cup, so their morale is high. His

Sheffield United is expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, which is the classic system of manager Wilder. This setup relies on the wing-backs making significant forward runs to widen the attacking width. At home, they will actively press, putting pressure on the opponents when they try to play the ball out from the back. They create threats through crosses from the flanks, second - ball headers, and set - pieces. However, there are some concerns. With the departure of the midfield core, the team's ability to organize and distribute the ball from the midfield has declined. When the wing - backs push forward, they leave large gaps behind them, which Birmingham could easily exploit with quick counter - attacks. Additionally, the new signings haven't fully gelled with the team yet, and they may get impatient if they fail to score after a long period of attack. Birmingham's expected formation is 4-2-3-1, with a double pivot in midfield to strengthen defensive stability. They won't engage

Both teams in this Championship match adopt possession-based playing styles, yet with different tactical focuses. Sheffield United has seen some fluctuations in form. Although they performed well in the pre - season, they have an edge in historical head - to - head records, which gives them a slight psychological advantage. However, they struggle with converting opportunities, and there are weaknesses in their wing - back defense. They need to be wary of Birmingham's attacks down the left - hand side. Birmingham, on the other hand, has been in more consistent form. Their victory in the League Cup has maintained their morale. But they are at a disadvantage in historical confrontations, which may bring psychological pressure. Their strengths lie in making use of the width of the pitch and engaging in intense physical battles. Nevertheless, they are lacking in aerial duels and goal - scoring efficiency. In terms of the line - up, Sheffield United will be without their defender Shackleton.
