Match preview

Home is where the heart has been for Sheffield United this season and they can record yet another Bramall Lane victory over Bournemouth on Saturday.

Performances on the road have been concerning for Paul Heckingbottom's men, who last won an away game at the start of February against Birmingham City.

But 11 of their 18 league wins this term have come on home soil and that does not bode well for visitors Bournemouth, who lost 2-0 to West Brom last time out.

The away side have won only three times in their last seven assignments in the Championship and could be worth opposing.

The title looks out of reach but automatic promotion appears assured for the Cherries, whereas the playoff-chasing Blades still have plenty to play for and can come up trumps.
