Sheffield United vs Watford Prediction: Watford have won three games in three

Sheffield United host Watford at Bramall Lane for their match day four tie in the English Championship. Watford have won three games in three this season. Who will be the victor after 90 minutes?

Coming into this match unbeaten in four games in the Championship and EFL Cup, Sheffield United lost their first match of the 2024-25 season in their last match of August, falling to League One Barnsley in the cup on Tuesday night. A youthful Blades team was unable to score despite the heavy possession, with Barnsley's Max Watters finding the lone goal.

So far in their Championship games, the goal of Sheffield United seems promising, with five points from their first three games, one of them in a draw against Norwich City. Behind to a goal inside eight minutes, The Blades pulled one back through midfielder Oliver Arblaster for a point.

In preparation of their desire to return to the top flight, Sheffield United has completed loan signings from the Premier League with signings such as Alfie Gilchrist from Chelsea and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi from Crystal Palace.

Watford managed to have an amazing turnaround of form from a rotten pre-season, with five wins on the spin in the Championship and EFL Cup, making them the most in-form team entering the international break. Mainly used off the bench this term, Mileta Rajovic starred with two goals in a key EFL Cup win over Plymouth Argyle - managed by Tom Cleverley. Midfielder Edo Kayembe has been equally brilliant, netting three times to put him in contention for the Championship's Golden Boot. And a successful start to the season continues to come for the high-flying Watford, who are flying in the face of the early-season predictions that gave them as a mid-table mediocrity.

Sheffield United may have won just one of their opening three games, but are likely to be one of the strongest Championship sides this term and will be confident of a win at Bramall Lane on Sunday. Watford have won all of their competitive outings so far this season, yet are in good form, and we are predicting that run to end in Yorkshire this weekend.
