They dug out a 2-1 comeback at Blackburn in midweek, with Tom Cannon and Sydie Peck flipping the scoreline before halftime. The Blades excel at coming back from losing positions and remain dangerous from through balls and in the air.

Wolverhampton have been messier out of the gate, following a 4-2 defeat at West Ham with a disappointing road tie at Birmingham in gameweek five, leaving them 11th. Even so, the visitors are the more potent attacking side, thriving on finishing, individual skill and counters, with Rodrigo Gomes and Rodrigo Jimenez leading the line.
