West Brom travel to Bramall Lane on Tuesday with both teams looking to improve their increasingly slim chances of survival. Sheffield United, despite some improved performances of late, need a sustained run of form to give themselves even a glimmer of hope.  

Brighton's victory over Tottenham on Sunday means the Blades are now 13 points from safety, while newly-promoted West Brom are now nine points adrift.

Sam Allardyce, appointed with the reputation of a saviour for struggling clubs, has been unable to inspire an upturn in fortunes. The Baggies battled to a win at Wolves in January but since then the Baggies have fallen to defeats against West Ham and Manchester City, and were held to a draw at home against Fulham last time out.

Sheffield United, meanwhile, ended their dismal run of form with an eye-catching win over Manchester United at Old Trafford last week. But they followed that up with a valiant but ultimately fruitless 1-0 loss against Manchester City.

Prediction

Both sides will be fully aware of the importance of a win, which could lead to a cagey, cautious affair. Sheffield United, of late, have looked more like the side that performed so consistently last season, so they could edge this one against a West Brom team leaking goals. Sheffield United 1-0 West Brom.
