West Brom welcome Sheffield United to the Hawthrons in Saturday evening’s late Premier League kick-off. 

Both teams urgently require a win to kickstart their seasons, currently sitting 19th and 20th respectively. The Baggies have at least drawn three of their nine games, but a lack of firepower up front has seen Slaven Bilic’s side struggle to convert chances into victories.

Meanwhile, for the Blades, it has been a miserable affair. Despite last season’s high-flying theatrics, Chris Wilder’s side totally devoid of confidence and goals, with Rhian Brewster yet to make his mark after joining the club from Liverpool

It is still early in the season, but a victory for either side tonight could prove hugely significant in the trajectory of their seasons.
