and live on Freeview channel 276
The Blades are, of course, sitting pretty at the top while the Swans’ season so far has been uninspiring to say the least as they occupy 19th place
Russell Martin’s side have won just two of their eight Championship matches this season, though they do come into this one off the back of a victory over QPR before football paused in tribute to the passing of the Queen.

“Physicality, athleticism … they’re really good. It’ll be a tough game for us.
"It’s up to us to approach it with the right mentality. In this league you’ve got a chance against anyone. The real thing for us, you get a win, you’re really not far away. It’s still early days."
However, one pundit can’t see other than an away win.
Writing his predictions column for Sky Sports, EFL presenter David Prutton said: “Swansea claimed a much-needed win last time out against QPR, just a second in what has been a pretty underwhelming start to the season for Russell Martin’s side. It is something to build on.

Prutton predicted a 2-0 win for the Blades.
