David Prutton believes Aston Villa could suffer another blow to their promotion hopes against Sheffield United on Saturday.

Villa’s 2-0 defeat at Derby County last weekend left them 10 points adrift of second-placed Cardiff City in the Championship and Prutton is backing them to have more problems against the Blades.

The former Leeds midfielder has tipped a 2-2 scoreline with Albert Adomah to score first at odds of 50/1 (with Sky Bet).

“It had been a while since Villa lost a game so that defeat at Derby last week, especially considering they’re another promotion rival, was a bit of a setback for Steve Bruce’s side,” Prutton told Sky Sports.
