Resurgent Blades next for flying Forest

Last updated : 07 December 2009 By Forest

Sheffield United are the hosts for a fixture that always has plenty of off-field bite but is a tasty match-up in terms of the two sides' form in recent weeks.

Manager Kevin Blackwell came under fire following a run of poor form but continually pointed to a plethora of injury problems affecting his options.

His belief that things would turn when players became available again has been borne out by some excellent recent results although the injury list has not cleared up entirely with top scorer Darius Henderson set to miss out on Tuesday night.

For Forest it is surely a case of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'.

Billy Davies is in the eviable position of having his side in top form, relatively few injury problems and players ready to step up and perform, as shown by the likes of Dele Adebola and Lewis McGugan, who have both come off the bench to impress in recent weeks.
