Lauren Smith's side returned to winning ways last time out as they produced a gritty performance to win 1-0 at Southampton.
With London City Lionesses losing at the hands of Durham earlier in the day, the result restored the Robins' six-point lead at the top of the Barclays Women's Championship ahead of the final four games of the campaign.
Goalkeeper Fran Bentley, fresh from being named Championship Player of the Week for her heroics at St. Mary's, knows her side will need to be at their best to beat the Blades.
"I’m really excited," she said. "I think Sheffield United will be a good side and we can’t take any games for granted.
"I think their place in the league doesn’t reflect how good they are as a team, but we love playing at home so we’re feeling good.
"They’re a physical side and they posses a dangerous attacking threat so we need to be on our game."

📖 ROBINS MATCHDAY PROGRAMME
🆚 OUR OPPONENTS: SHEFFIELD UNITED
Formed: 2002
Stadium: Bramall Lane
Nickname: The Blades
Manager: Jonathan Morgan
Finish last season: 7th
It hasn't been a season to remember for the Blades as they find themselves in 11th place in the Championship.
Consistency has been hard to come by this campaign for Jonathan Morgan's side, winning back-to-back games only once, way back in the first three matchdays of 2022/23.
That doesn't mean they are without some impressive scalps though, the Blades thrashing Coventry United 8-0 in September as well as catching a few eyes by earning maximum points at London City Lionesses at the beginning of March.
Since then they have picked up just one point from their last three and will be looking to bounce back this weekend.
