Sheffield United vs Tottenham Hotspur prediction, preview, team news and more | Premier League 2020-21

After winning their first league game of the season, a buoyant Sheffield United host Tottenham Hotspur at Bramall Lane on Sunday.

The Blades finally posted a win in the 18th game of their Premier League season. They beat Newcastle United 1-0 on Tuesday thanks to a late Billy Sharp penalty.

However, things don't get any easier for Sheffield United, as they face four of last season's top six in their next four Premier League games.

They have just five points from 18 games so far, and are nine points behind Brighton, who are in 17th spot.

Jose Mourinho will look for his side to use this game to come back into some kind of form. Spurs have won just one league game since they went top of the table in early December.

In their last game, they only managed a 1-1 draw against Fulham at home, with a late Ivan Cavaleiro equaliser canceling out Harry Kane's opener.

Spurs are currently sixth in the Premier League, with 30 points from 17 games, six points behind league leaders Manchester United.
