Stoke City welcome Sheffield United to the bet365 Stadium in the Championship on Friday, with both sides looking to bounce back after bruising defeats earlier in the week.
Stoke's momentum came to a screeching halt as they were thumped 6-0 by a rampant Leeds United side that sealed their Premier League promotion in style. Prior to that, the Potters had strung together a promising run, but their collapse at Elland Road was a harsh reality check.
Sheffield United, meanwhile, were clinging to their automatic promotion hopes heading into their clash with Burnley at Turf Moor. However, a narrow 2-1 defeat saw those dreams dashed, leaving them now eyeing a route back to the top flight via the play-offs. With only one win from their last five matches, the Blades have seen their form nosedive at the worst possible time.
