West Bromwich Albion travel north to take on Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday afternoon (ko 3pm).
The Baggies were beaten 2-1 at Oxford United last weekend and will be eager to produce a much better performance and result in Yorkshire.
Hosts Sheffield United picked up a victory in their most recent match, defeating QPR 2-0 at Loftus Road thanks to efforts from Callum O'Hare and Tyrese Campbell.
Albion were 2-0 winners in the reverse fixture at The Hawthorns in the middle of December. Aune Heggebø and Karlan Grant hit the back of the net in the second period. Watch the highlights below.

The opposition
Sheffield United will be hoping for a strong end to the 2025/26 campaign and won't have given up hope of finishing the season in the play-off positions.
The Blades head into matchweek 36 nine points adrift of the top six, but will believe they have more than enough time to make up ground on the sides above them.
Plenty of that belief will be based on their record over the last 20 league matches. They're the second-best performing side during that time period, collecting 38 points. Only automatic-promotion chasing Ipswich Town have had a better return.
Saturday's hosts have competed well in 2026, picking up six victories and one draw in their 11 Sky Bet Championship fixtures. United have won three of their last four (Portsmouth, Sheffield Wednesday and QPR), while their only two defeats in the last eight league encounters have come at the hands of top two Middlesbrough and Coventry City.
Last season's beaten play-off finalists' home record is mixed. They've won eight, drawn two and lost seven of their 17 second-tier fixtures at Bramall Lane so far, and boss Chris Wilder will know a late push towards the top six could depend on the results they collect in front of their own supporters.
The 58-year-old, who was appointed in September 2025, is now into his third spell in charge. He's managed over 300 Sheffield United matches and has helped the club win two promotions. The boyhood Blade also represented the Yorkshire outfit as a player in the late 80s and early 90s.
Albion's recent record at Bramall Lane
Sheffield United 1-1 Albion, December 2024
The Baggies picked up a point the last time they visit the home of the Blades. Andre Brooks put the hosts 1-0 up in the middle of the first half, but Karlan Grant's fierce effort from the edge of the box levelled matters. Both outfits pushed for a winner in the second period, but neither could find it and the encounter ended 1-1. Check out the highlights below.
Sheffield United 2-0 Albion, April 2023

Memorable meeting
Albion were 2-1 winners at Bramall Lane in December 2018.
David McGoldrick scored as early as the 12th minute for the hosts, but Gareth Barry's impressive strike brought the Baggies level shortly before the break.
Darren Moore's men completed the turnaround with less than 15 minutes remaining. Defender Kieran Gibbs popped up the back post and drilled the ball into the bottom corner to secure all three points.
