Monday night's Premiership football sees rejuvenated Sheffield United welcome the league's draw specialists Aston Villa.

Successive wins over two of the Premiership strugglers - Watford and Charlton - have seen the Blades climb out of the relegation zone for the first time this season and suddenly people are looking at Neil Warnock's side with new respect.

They may not be easy on the eye but it appears they are learning to live in the top flight. Since Martin O'Neill took over at Villa Park there has been the perception that the midland club has turned the corner.

Villa have lost just two of their opening 16 games and their only away defeat came at Anfield however, the reality for O'Neill is that nine of those 16 games have ended in draws.

They may be difficult to beat but like everyone else, they are finding it hard to go one step further and take all three points.

Villa have drawn nine of those 16 games and six of those have ended 1-1, a scoreline which we must admit crossed our minds when looking at this match.

However, we will plump for a United win and we like the look of Betterbet.com's 13/2 for a 1-0 home win with a side bet of 9/1 for 2-0.
