It's been a slow start for both Sheffield United and Sunderland this term, with both winning just one each of their combined eight matches so far. The Blades ...

The Draw feels the most likely result but backing two of the three outcomes at this price feels the way to play. You might associate Sander Berge more with setting them up rather than putting them away but he’s currently got two goals and no assists to his name this season. It’s been a slow start for both Sheffield United and Sunderland this term, with both winning just one each of their combined eight matches so far.

Ahead of Sunderland's away trip tonight, we spoke to Sheffield United fan and writer Callum Cheswick to discuss how his side have started the Championship ...

But by being the deeper of the three, he will have a lot more time on the ball and I think that’s where he’s really developed his game. He’s got a spark and new energy since Heckingbottom come in and the goals will come I know that without a doubt. CC: I think what has really helped Egan is that he has two centre halves at the side of him. With Chris Basham the wrong side of 30 it is massively important to bring in someone who can learn the role of the outside centre half for the future and Anel can do that. He was ranked the 7th best centre back in Ligue 1 at Bordeaux and his in possession statistics are outrageous, if he continues to stand out at this level he will get interest from the top flight very quickly. Norwood and Fleck are more suited for their passing and ball carrying abilities respectively, however, one thing we do lack in the centre of the park is dynamism and athleticism in midfield, Doyle is good on the ball but also can cover ground better than the other two mentioned. And in my own opinion as well I believe that the Championship is probably the weakest it has been for a while, I don’t think there’s any side that stands out as being a runaway contender. But I do think if there’s any sides that will be competing at the top end it will be us and Middlesborough. He gives us a dead ball threat and is a lot more dynamic than the other central midfield options we have. And then the game against Middlesborough, we had a goal disallowed that shouldn’t have been and a clear penalty. His calmness and technique in and around the 18 yard box should see him be a vital figure for goal creation in games where teams defend in a low block. We looked sharp and meaningful and more like a side that will be up there come May.

LUKE O'NIEN and Elliot Embleton return to Sunderland's starting line-up for this evening's Championship game at Sheffield United.

Embleton replaces Corry Evans in midfield, having also been a substitute in Saturday's game at the Stadium of Light. Alex Neil is sticking with his 3-5-2 formation at Bramall Lane, which will mean O'Nien playing alongside Danny Batth and Dennis Cirkin in the backline. O'Nien replaces Dan Ballard in the back three, having come off the bench to replace the injured summer signing during Saturday's 2-2 draw with QPR.
