Lee Evans previews Sheffield United’s clash with Middlesbrough

Sheffield United’s Lee Evans has told the Sheffield Star that he expects to be a marked man tonight as they prepare to face Middlesbrough in a Sky Bet Championship fixture.

The Blades will not have been happy with their opening day match. Despite taking the lead against recently relegated Swansea City, they would end up slipping up and allowing the Swans to win the game 2-1. But they have been given a quick chance to get back to winning ways with a match against Middlesbrough tonight. In their opening match they were able to come 2-0 behind to draw 2-2 with Millwall.

And Evans has said that he expects Middlesbrough to keep a keen eye on him during the match. In the last match between the two teams, Evans scored twice, one being a classic goal of the season contender, giving the Blades the win. And Evans believes because of that Middlesbrough will look to mark him out of the game.

He said: “If a member of the opposition had done that against us I’d be thinking ‘you can’t do that again, surely?’ Joking aside, you are wary of it and I’m sure they will have watched clips of us from Saturday, just as we have of them, and doing their analysis. We will be wary of their threats, as they’ve got plenty, and they will be wary of our threats because we’ve got plenty too.”

“The two games last year were close and I don’t see much difference this year,”

“We have got to make sure we do the basics right and defend well as we know at some point in the game, we are going to come under pressure being away at Middlesbrough. The two managers are quite similar, I think.”

“Tony Pulis is a massive name back in Newport,”

“Hopefully, one day, I can be as big a name as him down there. He has had an unbelievable managerial career with what he did at Stoke for so long and now he is trying to get Middlesbrough back in the Premier League. He is one that people know about.”
