We said: Sheffield United 1-1 Bournemouth
Bournemouth will not want to get into a rut and start looking nervously over their shoulder, so we expect a response from Parker's side here. But Sheffield United have been invincible at home under Heckingbottom and have plenty to play for themselves, so we think that this game will end level. Read more.Data Analysis
