The Blades head to Ashton Gate on Saturday, looking to be the first team in the Championship to come away with all three points.

Despite not winning in their last three matches, the Robins are unbeaten on home soil in the league and have won five of their eight games to date.

Gary Johnson's men are currently sitting in 10th position in the table, five points better off than the Blades.

Paul Hartley's stunning long-range free-kick couldn't stop City getting thrashed 4-1 against West Brom at The Hawthorns last time out.

Former Crewe striker Nicky Maynard will prove to be the chief threat to United's back and the pacey marksman has already netted nine times in the Championship this season.
