Sheffield United vs Bristol City Prediction
- Sheffield United benefitted greatly from a controversial Rob Dickie red card in the first leg as Harrison Burrows' penalty was followed up by goals from Andre Brooks and Callum O'Hare in the second half.
- Providing a disaster, Chris Wilder's side will be heading to Wembley, although they will be keen to give their home fans a show rather than play for the draw on Monday.
- Bristol City have a right to feel aggrieved given the controversial nature of Dickie's red card, but Liam Manning's men have no time to feel sorry for themselves as they face an uphill struggle to salvage their playoff dreams.
- Unfortunately for the Robins, they will need to end a five-match winless run away from home if they're to punch their ticket to Wembley.
