Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion meet this Tuesday at 18:00 at Bramall Lane in play counting for the 22nd round of the Premier League. Sheffield United has been the big revelation of the past season, is having a lot of difficulties this season.
The team was a series of 16 games without winning, having only achieved 2 draws. But everything changed when they managed to defeat Newcastle in their stronghold.
They still lost at home to Tottenham, but won a brilliant victory at Old Trafford 2-1, then lost again to Manchester City but only 1-0. They are still last, with just 8 points, 12 goals scored and 34 conceded.
Many already considered the team as condemned to go down, but now they see West Brom as the opponent of this game to 4 points, being able to shorten that distance to 1 in case of victory, although they are still a distant 10 points from salvation.
Chris Wilder survived the dismissal, always having the vote of confidence of the management since he was the one who promoted the team in very few years from the secondary squads to the top echelon of English football, a sign of recognition and thanks for the work done by the coach.
For this game, there are practically no injuries or punishments with the entire squad available.
West Bromwich Albion didn’t start the season well either. Slaven Bilic could not resist the poor results and was replaced by Sam Allardyce, an experienced coach used to saving downhill clubs, let’s see if he can do it again this time.
However, the change did not have much effect, as Big Sam lost 5 of the 8 games in charge of the team.
They are now penultimate with 12 points, 17 goals scored and 50 conceded (the worst defence in the league with an average of 2.5 goals conceded per game).
Senegalese striker Mbaye Diagne hired from Galatasaray, who on his debut with Fulham made an assist entering the second half, can make his debut as a starter.
Matheus Pereira (ex-Sporting) continues to raise the team’s technical level, being the key player with 5 goals and best scorer. Furthermore, it is he who hits the dead balls. Grady Diangana is the only player unavailable for this game due to injury.
In the last 6 games for all competitions, Sheffield United won 4 and it seems to be in a good moment and is motivated by the fact that they can get close to West Brom at home, it will be my guess.
