Tilly is fearless, loves to drive at a defence and at just nineteen years old, she\u2019s got a massive future in the game and is definitely a name to remember.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">From a Sunderland perspective, Emily Scarr has been a constant thorn in United\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">She\u2019s scored against us in three of our last seven meetings and is such a standout player at this level. Eleanor Dale is another who constantly seems to score against us, and I\u2019m a big fan of Izzy Atkinson from her spells at West Ham and Palace, so she\u2019ll be a danger on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From a Blades perspective, we\u2019ve had a real strong showing from our midfielders this season.
