Chesterfield vs Sheffield United predictions and football betting tips for this weekend’s live League One clash with an anytime goalscorer tip and the best odds.

There isn’t far to travel for the Blades as they face a derby match against Chesterfield on Sunday afternoon and we’ve got the best three betting tips for the match.

It was a slow and frustrating start for Chris Wilder at Sheffield United as they struggled for points in League One. Crucially, he was given time and he’s managed to turn it around. The Blades are cruising and are troubling the right end of the table and he’s given the fans real belief that they can finally make it back to the Championship. The tools have always been available, but a number of managers have found the task too taxing and have been unable to guide them upwards. They sit in 4th place on 31 points, just three points behind second place Bolton who play earlier in the day. They have a man in form in the shape of Billy Sharp, who is already into double figures for the season. They’ve collected 11 points from their last five matches and it’s hard to see them stopping here. Chesterfield have the opposite problem and look set for a season of battling relegation. They have the worst current form in the league with five straight losses and sit second bottom, two points above Shrewsbury. They haven’t scored a league goal since the end of September and their lack of firepower is a real concern for Danny Wilson who is under pressure.
