Sheffield United
I don't care who we play in this league at the moment, it's hard to see us getting beat anyone. I'm still a little worried at the back, even though we've only conceded 1 goal in 4 games. I'll be allot happier if Caldwell stops taking players out. The signing of Michael Bridges could also prove to be the added extra that will win us The Championship this season.

Sheffield United have always been a tough outfit, but over the last two seasons, they seem to have lost that status a little. We beat them 3 times last season and I'm backing that trend to continue with a narrow away win.

The only change I can predict in Tuesday's game, is start for Micky Bridges. Chris Brown has done really well since bursting into Sunderland's first team, but lets be honest, he isn't Michael Bridges.

Starting eleven: Poom, Wright, Breen, Caldwell, McCartney, Whitehead, Robinson, Whitley, Carter, Bridges and Elliott.

Subs: Mhyre, Lynch, Lawrence OR Thornton, Collins and Brown.

Score: SHEFFIELD UNITED 1 SUNDERLAND AFC 2

Scorers: ELLIOTT AND BRIDGES.
