Swansea come into this one on the back of a narrow 0-1 home defeat to Birmingham in the EFL Cup — a result that stings, but the league is a different beast. That was a cup tie, a rotated side, a different tempo. At the Swansea.com Stadium, in front of their own fans, expect a reaction. They'll want to put that cup wobble to bed and make a statement in the Championship. The Swans are a possession-based outfit, patient in build-up, happy to keep the ball and force the opposition to chase shadows. That style can suffocate a game, especially at home.

Sheffield United, meanwhile, arrive with a cloud of off-field drama hanging over Bramall Lane. Chris Wilder's side were desperately poor on the opening day — the fewest shots of any side in the division (just three) and a pitiful 0.29 xG. That's not a blip; that's a warning sign. They've got quality on paper, but the machine isn't firing. Recent friendly form suggested goals, but competitive football is a different animal. The Blades look short of rhythm, short of ideas, and short of confidence. Swansea, by contrast, have a clear identity and a home crowd to feed off. Momentum is green and white.
