David Prutton has predicted on Skysports.com that Aston Villa will fail to win against Sheffield United on Tuesday evening.

Villa will take on United away from home at Bramall Lane in the Championship this evening.

Former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Prutton believes that the game will end in a 2-2 draw.

The former Nottingham Forest and Leeds United midfielder has also backed Villa attacker Scott Hogan to score the opening goal of the match.

Hogan, who can operate as a forward or as a winger, has scored four goals and provided two assists in nine Championship starts for the Villans so far this season.

The 25-year-old attacker has been on the books of Villa since January 2017 when he joined from Brentford for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £12 million.

Prutton wrote on Skysports.com: “Now this is a tough one to call. Sheffield United appear to be finally over their mid-season slump and will fancy their chances against Aston Villa, despite their excellent recent form under Steve Bruce.

“The reverse fixture between these two saw a frantic, entertaining draw, and I fancy a similar result at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night.”

A footnote added: “Prutton predicts: 2-2 with Scott Hogan to score first.”

United are seventh in the Championship table at the moment with 46 points from 28 matches, while Villa are currently fifth in the standings with 50 points from 28 games.
