Sheffield Utd - West Ham Prediction, Picks and Tips
The Premier League will resume on Friday-evening with a match on Bramall Lane. The well-performing Sheffield United receives a visit from the less well-performing West Ham United in its own stadium.
Sheffield United is still neatly in eighth place in the Premier League. The Blades know how to surprise the entire season in the English league and will now do everything they can to end up in the left row. Given the competition from, among others, Arsenal and Everton, clubs that are still in the right-hand row, that will be a difficult story for Sheffield United. If Chris Wilder manages to maintain himself with The Blades, on the other hand, he has long and broadly met expectations. At Sheffield United they are currently in a "form dip". Although that name may not be justified: Sheffield United won none of the last three games and lost two of those three matches. Those defeats were not insurmountable, as with Manchester City and Liverpool-out (both duels lost 0-2), Sheffield United has had the toughest two away games of the season. It was also the first two defeats of Sheffield United in the Premier League this season and that shows how strong The Blades are performing. Just like all other Premier League clubs, Sheffield United had commitments in the FA Cup last weekend: The Blades barely managed to beat 2-1 against semi-professional club AFC Fylde. Wilder generally gave his basic customers peace in the FA Cup, but they will be back against West Ham United.
David Moyes has been at the helm again at West Ham United since the new calendar year. De Schot must ensure that West Ham United East London manages to maintain itself in the Premier League this season, because under his predecessor Manuel Pellegrini that had not become a matter of course. West Ham United is in a disappointing sixteenth place in the Premier League and has only two points less than AFC Bournemouth, the first club under the line. In view of the player material, Moyes has to manage to maintain himself in the Premier League with this West Ham United, but Pellegrini was also unable to get The Hammers to work. Last Wednesday, West Ham United last played in the Premier League. On New Year's Day, AFC Bournemouth was the opponent at London Stadium and Moyes saw The Hammers win their first game under his leadership. That even happened very convincingly, because after ninety minutes there was a 4-0 final score on the scoreboard. On Sunday-afternoon, West Ham United also qualified for the next round of the FA Cup by beating League One-club Gillingham 0-2. Unlike many of his colleagues, Moyes decided to start in the FA Cup with a lot of players who could normally count on a base position. Sébastian Haller, Felipe Anderson and Declan Rice all started in the base at the Priestfield Stadium. That will not cause many problems. West Ham United - certainly compared to the past few weeks - had sufficient rest in the run-up to the duel with Sheffield United.
