West Bromwich Albion v Sheffield United: date, kick off and how to watch as the Blades head to the Baggies

Sheffield United are back in Championship action this weekend as they face a trip to struggling West Brom. The Blades have faulted of late and are currently on a run of no wins in their last five matches. Last time out they drew 2-2 against Norwich City, this match coming just days after a crazy 3-3 draw at home to Blackpool.

West Brom on the other hand will be hoping to get off to a perfect start under new boss Carlos Corberan. The Baggies sit second from bottom in the table having won just two matches so far this season.

A victory for the Blades could see them move up to fourth in the table, and would in turn strengthen their position in the top six. It would also kick start their season which has stalled of late.

West Brom should be a comfortable contest, but with the players hoping to make a strong first impact United could be in for a tricky afternoon in the West Midlands. Here’s what you need to know about the match, including how you can watch it live and how to catch the highlights.
