Russell Martin will be looking for back-to-back wins for the first time this season tonight. The Swansea boss got his tactics all wrong the last time he faced Sheffield United, as the Blades annihilated Martin’s side at Bramall Lane, winning 4-0.

United are looking to string back-to-back-to-back victories, in Wales tonight, it would also extend their unbeaten period to 8 games, after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Watford on opening day.

The Blades are at the top of the tree coming into this clash, and Russell Martin has full admiration for Paul Heckingbottom’s team, he told Examiner Live:

“They’re full of excellent players with loads of Premier League experience,” he said of the Blades. “Physicality, athleticism, they’re really good, it’ll be a tough game for us.”

“It’s up to us to approach it with the right mentality. In this league, you’ve got a chance against anyone. The real thing for us, you get a win, you’re really not far away. It’s still early days.”

Swansea are currently 19th in the table, although according to the analytics they should be sat exactly in midtable.
