THE PREDICTION
Both 20th placed Sheffield Utd and 19th placed West Brom have been cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier League, with three points separating the two sides but most importantly, nine points separating West Brom from Brighton in 17th. A draw in this match will ultimately do very little for either side and as such the two teams are expected to throw caution to the wind and go all out for the victory. Sam Allardyce’s Baggies have conceded a whopping 20 goals in their last six Premier League games, but have proven that they can find the net themselves with six goals scored in their last four. Whilst Sheffield Utd will be confident of at least scoring vs West Brom, the Blades have recorded just one clean sheet at Bramall Lane in the Premier League so far this campaign and like the visitors, contain a very fragile backline. With that in mind, expect both teams to score here.
