Sheff. Utd. prepare to entertain Blackpool at Bramall Lane on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Blades are clearly on top, winning 53.13% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Bramall Lane was just last season, in March 2009, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Championship match.
