Monday night's opponents are only one point away from automatic promotion...

Newcastle United's 3:2 victory at Peterborough yesterday (Saturday) means that the Magpies only need a point against lowly Sheffield United tomorrow (Monday) night. Chris Hughton men's result, coupled with Nottingham Forest's 1:1 draw at Bristol City, has seen them virtually clinch promotion back to the top-flight at the very first time of asking.

The league-leaders are yet to lose at home this season, so a win for the Blades would be very surprising. If United were to collect all three points, it would see their (Newcastle's) unbeaten home record demolished and them having to wait until they play Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Saturday the 10th.

United haven't won away since the 5th December 2009, so any chance of a victory is very slim. A point, though, would be credible.

Remember, we beat them the last time we went up there and the pressure is perhaps off us with the play-offs seemingly out of reach. Our lads can hopefully go up there, in a massive arena, and show the country what they can do live on the telly.

Up the Blades!
