THE PREDICTION
With Liverpool and Man Utd facing off at Anfield later in the afternoon, Tottenham know that three points here at Bramall Lane will see them close the gap on both sides at the top of the Premier League. However, three points are not a given against bottom of the table Sheffield Utd after the Blades finally picked up their first win of this season’s Premier League at the 18th time of asking, beating ten-man Newcastle 1-0 thanks to a second half Billy Sharp penalty. Having said that, a Jose Mourinho managed Spurs will provide an altogether much tougher challenge than the Magpies and with the carrot of moving ever closer to the summit of the division dangling above them, Mourinho’s are expected to put on a professional display here all over the pitch, working hard for each other and not just recording a victory here, but also a clean sheet.
