West Ham vs Sheffield United - 15/02/2021

5586

The penultimate match of the weekend in the English Premier League takes place on Monday the 15th of February as West Ham United play Sheffield United at the London Stadium.

The hosts begin the weekend in 6th place on 39 points while the visitors are bottom of the table on 11 points and have plenty of work to do to avoid relegation.

West Ham United come into the match having lost 1-0 at Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Tuesday night. The game was level at full-time but Manchester United came out stronger in extra time to score the decisive goal and progress in the competition. That means West Ham United have won only one of their last 4 games in all competitions and that came in the Premier League away against Aston Villa.

Their most recent fixture in the Premier League ended in a 0-0 draw at Fulham and West Ham United will see this as the perfect game to get back to winning ways.

Home form in the Premier League shows West Ham United are undefeated in 4 of their 5 most recent home Premier League matches. There have been victories over Burnley and West Bromwich Albion plus draws against Crystal Palace and Brighton.

Trends show West Ham United have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 7 home Premier League games but they will be hoping to improve that record by shutting out the opposition in this match.

Sheffield United travel to London having defeated Bristol City 1-0 at home in the FA Cup on Wednesday night. That result continues what has been an improvement in form for the Blades, who have now won 6 of their last 9 games in all competitions.

They have won 3 of their last 6 Premier League matches but only 3 of their 26 most recent league games, which is poor.

Sheffield United have picked up just a single victory from their last 17 away Premier League matches and they have failed to score a goal in 3 of their last 4 on the road. In addition, Sheffield United have failed to keep a clean sheet in their 16 most recent away league fixtures.

Team news and West Ham United will be hoping striker Michail Antonio is fit to start the game. Angelo Ogbonna, Andriy Yarmolenko, and Arthur Masuaku are injured.

Sheffield United continue without the injured duo of Sander Berge and Jack O'Connell. They also have doubts over the fitness of George Baldock, Enda Stevens, and Jack Robinson.

West Ham United will see this as the ideal opportunity to pick up another 3 points as they aim to qualify for European football.

Sheffield United have been struggling to score goals away from home and West Ham United could come out on top plus keep a clean sheet.
