Sheffield United and West Ham meet at Bramall Lane on Friday night as David Moyes seeks to make it three wins from his opening three games as Hammers boss.
Few would have expected Chris Wilder's Blades to be the side sitting in eighth ahead of this game, but the Hammers - currently 16th - look to be back on track after Moyes replaced Manuel Pellegrini as manager.
Date: Friday, January 10th, 2020
Venue: Bramall Lane, Sheffield.
Kick-off time: 8pm GMT
Sheffield United 1-1 West Ham
The Blades have been cutting through the top flight, but are winless in their last three and have lost their last two to blunt their ambitions a little - though in fairness, those defeats were away at Manchester City and Liverpool.
West Ham are far from where they want to be, but have already tightened up under Moyes - and they will fancy their chances of taking something back to London.
