Sheffield United will be looking to reclaim their place in the automatic promotion spots with a win away at Yorkshire rivals Rotherham United this weekend.

The Blades have dropped to 4th in the Championship table after just one win in their last five league games, so Chris Wilder be hoping that his United side can bounce back with a win.

It won't be easy by any means however, Paul Warne's Rotherham, despite a disappointing start to the season, have lost just one of their last eight league games and are unbeaten in their last five, and they are a tough outfit to beat at home.

It's bound to be a cracker at the New York Stadium - but what does Sky Sports expert David Prutton predict though? The pundit has predicted a 1-1 draw.

"Rotherham are unbeaten in five games now in the Championship but just one win in that time is why they are not quite climbing away from the relegation zone."

"Sheffield United have had two weeks to dwell on the frustration of not putting away Sheffield Wednesday at Bramall Lane - this is around the time of the season when they started to slip off the boil last year, and they won't want that to happen again. This, however, is a score draw for me."

United sit one point off the automatic promotion places, whilst Rotherham sit 19th in the standings.

The Verdict

I can't disagree with Prutton's predictions. Rotherham have looked solid recently and don't look like losing, whereas the Blades have been shaky of late and have lacked firepower in front of goal.

If a team were going to nick it 1-0 though, then I'd say that Wilder's men will be the ones to do so.
