Pundit makes Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United prediction as sides battle for play-offs

Nottingham Forest go head-to-head with Sheffield United this evening as both sides battle for promotion to the Premier League.

Paul Heckingbottom's side sit just two points clear of the Reds in seventh place.

With Forest undefeated in their last four, Steve Cooper's side have another tough contest in their push for promotion.

The reverse fixture at the City Ground ended in a 1-1 draw as Lewis Grabban cancelled out Morgan Gibbs-White's strike.

Ahead of tonight's meeting, Sky Sports pundit David Prutton has issued his prediction.

"Sheffield United hit a bit of a bump at Millwall last week as they ran into a side in good form and fell to defeat," Prutton wrote in his Sky Sports column. "They will want to get back on the horse quickly and get themselves back into the top six.

"Nottingham Forest were back to winning ways, and may have one eye on another big game in the FA Cup in a few days. Steve Cooper will want them fully focused here, and that should be enough for a draw."
