West Ham v Sheff Utd

West Ham vs Sheffield United Preview

West Ham take on newly promoted Sheffield United at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon as The Hammers look to avoid a third defeat on the trot in the Premier League but having witnessed the recent 8-0 mauling by Newcastle United upon Sheffield United, West Ham will be confident that they can return to winning ways in this encounter.

Recent back-to-back defeats at the hands of Manchester City and Liverpool have given West Ham a setback but nevertheless, David Moyes' side will still feel upbeat about their chances this Saturday as the hosts had previously recorded three wins on the trot.

Victories against Chelsea, Brighton and Luton Town respectively show that West Ham should still be taken seriously here especially with home advantage behind them, where West Ham have lost just three of their previous 12 games overall at the London Stadium while also picking up six wins in the process.

Four of these six wins for West Ham have also included the hosts keeping clean sheets as well, so this Saturday's trip to the nation's capital could be another tough task for Sheffield United.

Sheffield United were left completely shell-shocked after being dealt a humiliating 8-0 defeat at home to Newcastle United last weekend and The Blades will now hit the road again on Saturday afternoon to take on a West Ham outfit who have produced some encouraging results so far this season.

Having now lost five out of their opening six league matches upon their return to the English top flight, gaining just one point in the process, it's fair to say that the early alarm bells are ringing loud and clear around Bramall Lane and although the board have publicly backed manager, Paul Heckingbottom, their patience will only last so long.

The Yorkshire visitors have managed to capture just three wins from their previous 17 matches in the domestic top flight overall and having lost 10 of their last 11 outings on the road in the Premier League, Sheffield United's chances of picking up something from this trip to London on Saturday afternoon looks distinctly remote.

Incidentally, Sheffield United have also failed to score in seven of these last 11 away games as well, further underlining the huge task that lies ahead of The Blades here.

West Ham v Sheffield United Verdict

Having slipped to just three defeats from their previous 12 home games at the London Stadium and collecting six wins, West Ham look the more likely to take the spoils in this upcoming encounter in the nation's capital, while it looks like being another fruitless expedition for Sheffield United as they battle it out with Luton Town and Burnley to avoid being bottom of the table this weekend.

Therefore, our main bet will be West Ham win @ 1.50
