Sheffield United vs West Brom Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Sheffield have the most clean sheets this season.

Sheffield United are set to lock horns with West Brom at Bramall Lane in round 24 of EFL Championship action on Sunday. After their loss in the last match, Chris Wilder will be eyeing for a response from his team. This match will be crucial for them with Leeds United also in the mix for title charge. 

Sheffield United have been one of the consistent sides in the division this season. Chris Wilder’s side are currently in second place in the EFL Championship standings on same points as Leeds United. Before the match against Burnley, they were league leaders but their loss proved costly as Leeds leapfrogged them.

Meanwhile, West Brom suffered a defeat in the last match against Derby County making it two losses in their last three matches. Chris Brunt’s side have suffered a dip in form recently which has seen them drop to eight in the standings. Although they are playing good football, the lack of cutting-edge converting chances has been a major problem lately. Against Derby County, they missed two big chances which could have seen them emerge with a point if they had taken those.
