Swansea City and Sheffield United square off in round 28 of the EFL Championship on Tuesday

The action continues in round 28 of EFL Championship as Swansea City and Sheffield United go head-to-head on Tuesday. The Blades journey to the Swansea.com Stadium on a four-game winning streak against the hosts and will be looking to extend this three-year streak.

Swansea City failed to find their feet at the weekend as they suffered a 3-0 thrashing against Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium. The Swans have gone four consecutive matches without a win, claiming one draw and losing three, including a 3-0 defeat against Southampton in the FA Cup on January 12.

With 34 points from 27 matches, Swansea City are currently 13th in the Championship standings but could move level with ninth-placed Bristol City with a win on Tuesday.

On the other hand, Sheffield United returned to winning ways on Saturday when they edged out Norwich City 2-0 at Bramall Lane thanks to a brace from 23-year-old Harrison Burrows.

Before that, the Blades saw their three-game winless run come to an end on January 4 courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Watford, five days before crashing down to earth in a 1-0 loss against Cardiff City in the FA Cup.

Sheffield have picked up 55 points from their 27 Championship games to sit second in the league standings, just one point behind first-placed Leeds United.
