Backing the blades
Sheffield United have not won a game since September but we are kicking off our tips for this match by backing them to break that barren spell here. Despite the Blades' poor run, they have won three of their last five matches on the road. Of course, we need to look at West Brom as well and they've been awful all season. They have lost three of their last five matches but the real key thing to look at here is their home form; they've not won any of their last five at the Hawthorns, which means they've not won in front of their own fans since August.
A game lacking goals
We have touched on both these teams struggling for form of late and, as such, as these two face off we are backing the game to serve up fewer than three goals; specifically, this will bet be placed in the total goals market and backing under 2.5 goals. West Brom have gone under the 2.5 mark in three of their last five home games whilst Sheffield United meanwhile have gone under the 2.5 threshold in four of their last five matches. On top of that, three of the last four head to head meetings at the Hawthorns have gone under the 2.5 mark too.

Can Sheffield United get back to winning ways?
We've already mentioned how poor both these sides have been of late but you would not know that from looking at the league table. Sheffield Untied have struggled for wins recently but their early season form means they are still in the top six. West Brom, however, don't have any good period to fall back on and, as such, they're languishing in the bottom three.
West Brom really need to find a spark to ignite their season but doing so has just become harder for them due to Kyle Bartley's red card in the last game. His suspension sees him join Semi Ajayi and Daryl Dike (both injured) on the sidelines.
West Brom Predicted lineup – Palmer, Pieters, O'Shea, Gardner-Hickman, Furlong, Reach, Yokuslu, Townsend, Swift, Grant, Wallace
A lot is being made of Sheffield United's form – or lack of it – but their growing list of absentees is certainly not helping them out. Wes Foderingham is suspended with a further seven players sidelined by injury; Sander Berge and Rhys Norrington-Davies are the biggest names amongst those seven.
Sheffield United Predicted lineup – Davies, Ahmedhodzic, Egan, Basham, Baldock, Norwood, Fleck, Osborn, McAtee, Sharp, Brewster
