Sunderland v Sheffield United: Max Lowe confident Blades have the experience to ...

After Middlesbrough dropped two points against Stoke City on Tuesday night, Paul Heckingbottom’s side can move six points clear with a win at the Stadium of Light, with nine games left in the season.

If the Blades lose or even draw on Wearside it will be a psychological blow in a battle becoming much more hard-fought than it looked like being but not a killer one. Come what may, there will be a chance to make up for it when the Championship resumes in April after the international break.
