West Brom vs Sheffield United Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | EFL Championship 2025-26

The last two meetings between these clubs have ended in a draw.

West Bromwich Albion are all set to lock horns with Sheffield United for their matchweek 21 contest of the 2025-26 EFL Championship. This is going to be an interesting outing to look at, which will take place at the Hawthorns.

The Baggies have faced back-to-back losses in their last two games. They were first outplayed by Queens Park Rangers (QPR) and then fell prey to Southampton. Despite being at home, West Brom will not be feeling very confident and will likely be under pressure from the start.

Meanwhile, the Blades have come up with some pleasing performances in their last five matches. They have won four of them and were held to a draw by Norwich City in one of their previous EFL Championship fixture. Sheffield United are in 17th place on the points table, immediately below West Bromwich Albion.

Players to Watch

Aune Heggebo (West Brom)

Aune Heggebo has scored seven goals and also has two assists to his name in 20 English League Championship games this season. Even though he failed to score a goal for West Brom in their last fixture, he is still going to play an important role in the attacking front. The 24-year-old will be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

Callum O’Hare (Sheffield United)

From regulating the ball well in the midfield to scoring goals in the final third, Callum O’Hare is going to be one of the main men for Sheffield United. In 20 EFL Championship matches, he has 10 goal involvements and will be keen to help his side yet again.
