There are three 3 pm Premier League kicks-off set to play out on Saturday, May 4. One of which sees Sheffield United host Nottingham Forest at Bramell Lane.
Sheffield United, despite being the home side, are 15/4 underdogs to pick up three points this weekend, while Nottingham Forest can be backed at 13/20 to come away with the win.
Ahead of the game, Nottingham Forest are aiming to keep their Premier League survival push going, while Sheffield United have nothing left to play for after already being relegated to the Championship.
Sheffield United vs Nottingham Forest
It has been a season to forget for Sheffield United. They have managed to surpass Derby County’s record-low points total in a Premier League season (11) but they sit on just 16 points from 35 games played ahead of Saturday’s fixture. Their relegation has already been confirmed and they are 1/1000 favourites to finish 20th in the division.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, still have it all to play for ahead of kick-off in South Yorkshire. Their recent points deduction has dragged Forest into the relegation battle but their future remains in their hands, with a win this weekend a must to ensure they stay out of the bottom three.

Sheffield United vs Nottingham Forest betting stats
Here are some key Sheffield United and Nottingham stats to keep in mind as you prepare to make your selections ahead of the game:
- Sheffield United are just the third team in history to concede 50+ goals at home in an English top-flight campaign, after Aston Villa in 1935-36 (56) and Chelsea in 1959-60 (50).
- Sheffield United have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their past 17 away Premier League matches, only once going on a longer run without an away clean sheet – a run of 22 between June 2020 and May 2021.
- After winning two of their first three Premier League games under Nuno Espirito Santo (L1), Nottingham Forest have since won just two of their past 15 games in the competition (D4 L9). The Reds have now suffered more league defeats this season (19) than in the whole of last season (18).
