# Predicted Villa XI: Sheffield United (A)

Aston Villa will have to put their disappointing loss to Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup firmly behind them as they have an important Championship match against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

Bruce’s men have drawn their last three Championship matches, so it’s imperative that they get back to winning ways if they don’t want to have to start playing catch up early in the season.

Bruce made nine changes to the starting line-up that put in such a poor performance against Burton on Tuesday night, and we expect just as many changes to be made on Saturday.

Sheffield United have had a solid start to the season and are level on points with Villa. If Bruce’s men put in another poor and lose, he might just find that he is starting to tread on thin ice. He has a lot to think about in the next couple of days.

Here is our predicted Villa XI for Saturday’s match against Sheffield Wednesday.
