West Ham United v Sheffield United: match preview

West Ham v Sheffield United
West Ham v Sheffield United: probable starters in bold, contenders in light. Illustration: Guardian

This will be the first league meeting between the sides since West Ham stayed up at Sheffield United’s expense in 2007. However Chris Wilder insists United have moved on from the bitter row over the deal that brought Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano to West Ham. Wilder’s side will be more concerned with building on Monday’s victory over Arsenal. West Ham, who have lost their past two games, will need to be focused. Jacob Steinberg
