"Starting with the hosts, while Sheffield United might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of an infamous Championship rut, Chris Wilder's men have certainly made some serious improvements over recent times. Last seen getting the New Year underway with a stellar performance as they stormed their way to a dominant 3-1 victory against Leicester, the Blades will certainly be smelling a golden opportunity here."
"Signing off 2025 with an eye-catching 2-1 win away at Stoke, Sunday's hosts have won three of their previous four Championship appearances. Laying down a real marker last month as they cruised their way to a 3-0 romp against Birmingham, Sheffield United have continued to shine with their performances on home soil. Including another 3-0 victory against Portsmouth on November 26th, Wilder's side are unbeaten in their last six consecutive showdowns at Bramall Lane (four wins, two draws)."
Sheffield United have improved after a slow start to the 2025/26 Championship and have won three of their last four league matches, including 3-1 over Leicester and 2-1 at Stoke. The Blades have excelled at Bramall Lane, with back-to-back 3-0 home wins and an unbeaten six-match run there (four wins, two draws), conceding only two goals at home over the past two months. Oxford have struggled, losing four of their last five Championship games and sitting three points adrift of safety. The Yellows display poor away form and recent defeats include losses to Ipswich and Swansea, increasing relegation concerns.
