The stats

Prediction
Chris Wilder should be relishing a home clash against a sliding West Brom that is struggling with the heat of a relegation battle, having not won since December.
If the Blades hold any serious ambitions of reaching the play-off places then this is a game in which three points are an absolute must.
While the hosts should have enough offensive firepower to secure the three points, they have been far from water-tight at the back with just two clean sheets in their last 14 games, and the desperate Baggies can at least get on the scoresheet.
Back Sheffield United to win and both teams to score at 9/4 with LiveScore Bet.
