SHF Vs NEW Fantasy Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Bottom placed Sheffield United strive to make the most of Newcastle United’s struggles.
With three defeats on the spin, Sheffield United continue to remain the only club to yet win a tie in the ongoing edition of the Premier League. The club is fast headed for doom with the side failing to claw its way out of the pickle it finds itself in.
What will give the club solace in these bereaved times is their win in the FA Cup. For the first time in four months, the club managed to maraud its way to a triumph, a win which could end up being the catalyst of their season.
Buoyed by that result, the hosts will come out hammer and tongs when they take on a Newcastle United which has failed to win across the course of the last month.
SHF Vs NEW Fantasy Probable Winner
A testing affair of either team, this is a fixture where the defences will take precedence. It will be a closely fought scrimmage, one which should end in a draw.

Goal-Keeper
Aaron Ramsdale endured a torrid period but the Sheffield United man is now back at his best with him pulling off gripping saves off late.
Defenders
Although Newcastle United have massively struggled to record a cleansheet recently, today could see the time finally emerge with a shut down. They are up against a howler of a Sheffield United attack, a team which has been the most frugal attacking unit in the league.
It will see us opt for Jamaal Lascelles, Matt Ritchie and Frederico Fernandez from the side. Elsewhere, John Egan’s ability to disrupt attacking plays sees him line up for us from the opposition.
Midfielders
The midfield partnership of John Lundstram and John Fleck makes its way into our setup from the home team. The two players can not only win ball recoveries but have the ability to traverse the ball past defences as well.
Elsewhere, Miguel Almiron’s ability to cajole his way the goals sees him be our pick from the visiting side.
Strikers
He’s joined by the club’s top scorer, Callum Wilson. Joelinton’s ability to square the ball to his counterparts has seen him pull off two assists for his team.
Sheffield United’s leading scorer with four goals to his name, David McGoldrick completes our set of picks for the day’s outing.
Captain And Vice-Captain
With 8 goals and three assists, Wilson is our captain while Frederico is the vice-captain.
