Relegated from the Premier League from the last term, Sheffield United will need to stay within the top part of the table if they want to go back through promotion. Their maiden challenge in the England Championship will be at home against Birmingham on Saturday at Bramall Lane.
The host had only three wins in their last 12 matches in the PL and has had no draws in that period. The Blades had their last five wins in the overall schedule come with the same 1-0 scoreline. Their previous encounter was at home and they defeated Burnley with a 1-0 scoreline.
On the other hand, Birmingham struggled to avoid relegation last season in the league. The visitor had three defeats in the last ten matches in their overall form. They will visit on the back of a double loss in the campaign, following a 5-2 loss on the road to the likes of Blackburn Rovers last time out.

谢菲尔德联队上个赛季从英超降级，如果他们想通过升级回到英超，他们需要保持在积分榜的前列。他们在英格兰锦标赛上的首次挑战将于本周六在主场对阵伯明翰。
在过去的12场英超比赛中，东道主只取得了3场胜利，并且在这段时间里没有平局。在过去的五场比赛中，刀锋队的总比分都是1-0。他们之前的比赛是在主场，他们以1-0的比分击败伯恩利队。
另一方面，伯明翰在上个赛季联赛中努力避免降级。在最近的十场比赛中，客队整体状态有三次失败。在上赛季客场5-2负于布莱克本之后，他们将在本赛季遭遇两场失利。
