Sheff. Utd. prepare to entertain Cardiff City at Bramall Lane on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Blades are clearly on top, winning 60.00% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Bramall Lane was just last season, in September 2003, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 5-3 thriller, in a League Division One match.
