The second and third strongest Championship defences meet on Sunday afternoon, as West Bromwich Albion take on Sheffield United. The Baggies are unbeaten in 10 games, but at the same time have only won 1 of their last 10, incredibly drawing 9 in that run. The Blades have won 6 of their last 7 games, with the other a draw at Coventry where they played over half the game with 10 men.
⭐ West Brom v Sheffield United Bet
As evidenced by their current unbeaten run, WBA are a very difficult side to beat.
They have only lost twice this season, the same amount of games as Sheffield United, but have not been able to turn tight games into victories. The Baggies have drawn 10 games overall, over half their games.
Sheffield United have won 12 games out of 18, but away from home only 4 out of 9, with 3 draws.
We see this game being low margin, with the most likely outcome being a draw.

🔍 West Brom v Sheffield United Players to Watch
🔵 Josh Maja
If anyone is going to break the deadlock in this one, the chances are it will be Josh Maja, who has ten goals this season.
He is in decent form, with 3 goals in his last 6 games. He may be able to take advantage of the Blades’ makeshift back four, with first choice central defensive partners Harry Souttar and Anel Ahmedhodzic suspended.
🔴 Jack Robinson
Robinson will likely be one of the players starting in central defence. He has played from the start 5 times in the Championship this season, picking up 2 yellow cards in the process. Josh Maja, his direct opponent, has drawn 5 yellow cards from opponents this season.
