Match Preview

There is likely to be intense pressure on Sheffield United this weekend, as the Blades desperately search for maximum points in their battle to avoid relegation. They come into this round of matches sitting bottom of the standings, but a victory could see them move level with 19th-placed Burnley.

However, their survival chances already appear incredibly slim, as the Blades remain eight points from safety at the half-way stage. Sheffield United come into this match after failing to win in their last four, while they have suffered defeats in each of their previous two in the Premier League.

West Ham should be confident coming into this match, as the Hammers sit sixth in the league standings. In fact, a victory on Sunday could see them move to within three points of fifth-placed Tottenham. The Hammers have picked up victories in three of their last four matches, but they were held to a draw in their latest match in the Premier League.

West Ham boast a solid record in this fixture after winning each of their last three against the Blades without conceding a goal. Their most recent victory was picked up at the London Stadium in September, with the Hammers recording a 2-0 win. Sheffield United’s last victory against West Ham was picked up at Bramall Lane in January 2020.


Sheffield United vs West Ham Prediction
