Sheffield United will endeavour to record back-to-back Premier League triumphs for the first time in the 2023-24 campaign when Brighton & Hove Albion visit Bramall Lane on Sunday afternoon.
The Blades ran out 3-1 winners over fellow top-flight new boys Luton Town last weekend, while the Seagulls lost 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur in gut-wrenching circumstances.
We say: Sheffield United 1-2 Brighton & Hove Albion
Whether Sheffield United's statement win over Luton is the catalyst for a hot streak of form remains to be seen, but the Blades have made a habit of triumphing in one Premier League fixture only to disappoint their fans in the next.
With Brighton's attacking ranks also being strengthened by a handful of returning wide men, the Seagulls still have to be considered the favourites to emerge triumphant at Bramall Lane for the second time in the space of a month, in spite of their recent shortcomings on the road.

Pursuing a fifth successive victory across all competitions, Manchester United trek south to battle Luton Town at their modest Kenilworth Road surroundings on Sunday afternoon.
The Hatters' most recent Premier League affair ended in a surprise 3-1 home loss to Sheffield United, while the Red Devils' Champions League charge gathered momentum with a 2-1 success at Aston Villa.
We say: Luton Town 1-3 Manchester United
Making up for defensive vulnerabilities with free-flowing attacking sequences has been Man United's forte in 2024 thus far, and the red-hot Red Devils should continue in the same vein against a team whom they have not lost to in 37 years.
Luton can normally pat themselves on the back after a Premier League home game, but confidence may be dented by last weekend's loss to the basement boys, and an identical scoreline could be on the cards this time around.
