We said: Sheffield United 2-1 Watford

 Sheffield United, despite winning just one of their first three matches, are one of the deadliest sides in the Championship this season and will fancy their chances of picking up a win at Bramall Lane on Sunday. Victorious in all of their competitive matches so far, Watford are in a good vein of form, but we believe that positive spell will end in Yorkshire this weekend. Read more.
