West Ham United vs Sheffield United Predictions

• Both teams have scored in all six of West Ham’s Premier League games (W3, D1, L2).
• Sheffield United have scored in four of their six league games, including both of their away matches.
• Jarrod Bowen has four goals in six league games.

Blades in need of a response

Sheffield United head to West Ham on Saturday as they bid to respond to an 8-0 hammering at the hands of Newcastle last time out.

The Hammers are looking for a response of their own after league defeats to Man City and Liverpool, having managed 10 points from their first four games.

Expect a better showing from the Blades

Sheffield United have just one point to show from six games and they sit at the foot of the table – but aside from the loss to Newcastle they have been competitive in their fixtures.

We should see a reaction from Paul Heckinbottom’s men and they are definitely a better team than last week’s performance suggests. However, it is still hard to see them getting a result against this slick West Ham outfit and a home win with both teams to score looks a good option for the main bet.

There have been goals at both ends in all six of West Ham’s league fixtures and they have just one clean sheet in their last 10 home games stretching back into last season. The Blades have lost both of their away games but did score at both Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, losing both games 2-1.

Bowen the clear goal candidate

West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen has four Premier League goals to his name already and three of those have come in his last four games. As such, Bowen looks the best option for an anytime goalscorer bet here.

A 2-1 win for the Hammers is the correct score bet as both of Sheffield United’s away defeats have come by that scoreline. Their road displays have probably been better than their home performances and they should be able to keep this game fairly tight after coming close to a win at Spurs, but West Ham are a real force at home and have the quality to secure maximum points.
