    Sheffield United will be aiming to bounce back from the EFL Cup loss to Barnsley when they take on Watford in the Championship round 4. The Blades aim to move closer to the play-offs berth, so it seems possible that they will adopt an attack-oriented strategy against Watford. Both Femi Seriki and Jamie Shackleton are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

    The Hornets, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record intact in the new Championship campaign, but beating Sheffield United at Bramall Lane is easier said than done. Sooner or later they will lose for certain, but it is good to be at the top end of the table for now.
    There is an old saying, don't change a winning team, so it would be no surprise if TC sticks with the side that won three points in their last Championship game.

    Matej remembers every ref and their mistakes in detail. He explains to me, but I still can't remember the mistakes.
    I just get a sense of foreboding. Kitchen's name has brought that on this morning. As and when Matej emerges from his crypt, I will no doubt be gifted a full list of Kitchen's crimes and misdemeanours.

    We did quite well with Kitchen as ref last season - two 1-0 away wins at Swansea & Rotherham and a 1-1 draw at Bristol City

    I think it was a last minute smash and grab at Swansea?

    Rotherham was won despite his best efforts, a ridiculous amount of added time!
    Bristol City he was pretty much anonymous, which is the mark of a good ref.
    I was at both games.
    Should've been there today, alas not... was at the StoneDead Rock Festival last weekend and we're off to Edinburgh on the overnight train on Tues so stay-at-home-time required.

    No surprise that TC has stuck with the same starting side that faced Derby. Ebosele and Jebbison both on the bench.

    If ever there was an attacking bench, this is it.

    I was going to watch the Sky coveage on Now TV for about £11.99 with a day pass but they are having "technical problems" and I can't log in to pay.

    In the Radio Times under Sky it lists the match as live but then says we will join the match at 3.30pm. :confused:
