West Brom Preview – Can Baggies blunt Blades?
West Brom will be seeking to make it two wins on the trot at The Hawthorns on Wednesday night when they play host to Sheffield United, following Saturday’s 3-2 home win against a spirited Luton Town outfit.
The Baggies just about held on against Luton despite being 3-0 up as The Hatters staged a late comeback but overall results in the Championship have been pretty steady from West Brom as the hosts have lost just one of their last nine games.
West Brom will be keen to put last season’s relegation from the Premier League out of their minds as soon as possible and a result at home against Sheffield United will go some way to atoning for last season’s disaster, and they also beat The Blades 1-0 in their last meeting at home too.
Sheffield United Preview – Can Blades sharpen up?
It was a season that very few people saw coming for Sheffield United in last season’s Premier League campaign which resulted in a disastrous term for the visitors, virtually being relegated at just around the Christmas mark.
Sheffield United also lost their opening match of this new Championship season as well, losing 1-0 at home to Birmingham City at Bramall Lane and then being held to a 0-0 draw away from home at Swansea City on Saturday.
In between times, The Blades did record a 1-0 home win over League Two outfit, Carlisle United, in the League Cup but this upcoming trip to the west midlands is likely to be another tough test for Slovia Jokanovic’s side.
