Paul Heckingbottom outlines Sheffield United’s game plan ahead of hosting of Swansea City

Sheffield United missed an opportunity to increase their chances of breaking into the top six when they were held to a goalless draw by Hull City in midweek.

It was still a positive performance from the Blades however, creating plenty of goalscoring openings but just unable to find the finishing touch.

Ollie McBurnie was too much for the Tigers’ backline to handle and the Scotsman will have been frustrated to miss the target with a handful of headed chances.

Morgan Gibbs-White was back to his best and will be confident of building on that against Swansea City on Saturday.

Paul Heckingbottom was bullish about the Blades’ chances of taking maximum points on Saturday in his pre-match press conference this afternoon, quotes are provided by the club’s media team.

He said: “We’ve got many games to go.

“We are on a good run, we know the forms been good, we’ll trust that.

“We’re at home, we want to control the game and be as aggressive as we were the other night, but this time get the goals and get the three points.”
