In a mid week match in week 23, on Monday Dec 20th, Sheffield United will travel to London to battle Fulham in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Championship teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. 1st placed Fulham is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Luton Town. Aleksandar Mitrović scored the first goal for Fulham in the 19th minute, then in the 62nd minute, James Bree sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Elijah Adebayo earning Luton Town at least a draw. Fulham is on a hot streak lately, having won 6 of their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 13th placed Sheffield United, recorded a 3-2 win against Cardiff City. Mark Harris struck first for Cardiff City in the 32nd minute, then Morgan Gibbs-White tied it up for Sheffield United in the 61st minute But luckily in the 73rd minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Billy Sharp. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Sheffield United should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Both Rhian Brewster and Billy Sharp have been the hottest scorers for Sheffield United in the last five each having scored 2 goals each. Aleksandar Mitrović has been the most prolific scorer on Fulham in his last five matches with two goals.
