Southend v Sheff Utd preview and tips

Southend is 13th on 55 points. They are 9 points and 7 places behind 6th placed Bradford. The Shrimpers had an excellent first round but have been inconsistent in the past 3 months, climbing down in the standings.

The home record is 9-4-6. They did not win any of the last three in Southend. At least there are no fresh injury or suspension worries for their clash with Sheffield United.

New signing Moussa builds up his fitness following a knee injury sustained before he joined Southend. He is unavailable to play.

Midfielder Leonard has stepped up his training but is not in contention either to face the Blades.

Sheffield United have equal points with Southend, but they look stronger at this time. They beat Crewe 3-2 to return to winning and we predict a final effort to approach the top 6. The away record of 5-8-6 is a proof of a problematic season, but there has been a win every 2-3 draws or losses.

Sheffield United boss Adkins is confident that Coutts will be fit to play. The midfielder was withdrawn 10 minutes from the end of the 3-2 win against Crewe on Friday but he should be in contention.

Central defenders Edgar (international duty) and Baptiste (injured) are still unavailable, while Woolford (M) remains on the sidelines.

Our bet: This is not an easy one, but we still believe on the Blades ‘last effort’ to get to the top 6 and will back the away win.

Away win for Sheffield United (6/4, 2.50)
