Charlie Nicholas makes prediction for Sheffield VS Tottenham clash

Sheffield United host Tottenham at Bramall Lane on Thursday. Two teams with hopes of European qualification. The match will be Sheffield United's first at home in the Premier League since March 7, while it is also Tottenham's first away game since returning from lockdown. Ahead of the game, Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has made a prediction for the game. "I thought Sheffield United were a bit better against Arsenal - but I do not say that as a gigantic compliment," wrote Nicholas. "They made chances but should have done better with them. Chris Wilder's side can get agitated at times and they are giving away silly free-kicks again. "Tottenham still have issues defensively. Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen are not being selected, so does Jose Mourinho believe Davinson Sanchez and Eric Dier are the future? They kept a clean sheet last time so it may be the same back four in this one. Their full-backs are vulnerable, but Tottenham are strong going forwards, with Harry Kane scoring too against West Ham, but I see this being a draw. "Sheffield United will be annoyed for losing the way they did against Arsenal, and the way their league form has gone since the restart will be as clear an indicator as any that they must improve. They will try to rattle Tottenham and get stuck into them. I still think Sheffield United are good enough to take a point from this one." Nicholas thinks that the game will end with a 1-1 draw.
