Sheffield Utd vs West Ham

The Blades might be without forwards Christian Nade (twisted ankle) and Danny Webber (foot), so hopefully will not improve on their recent poor goal scoring record of two goals in five games.

In the same five games the Blades have conceded eleven. Therefore Bobby Zamora, who looks fit to play despite missing much of this week's training because of a knee injury, will hope to continue his recent good goal scoring record.

Honours are even in the Premiership head-to-head standings between West Ham and Sheff Utd at one win a piece and one draw. However the Blades have lost their previous three games whilst West Ham have won theirs. The momentum looks to be with West Ham and despite Lucas Neill's claim that West Ham will be happy with a point you have to feel that a win is necessary if West Ham are to keep their hopes of survival alive.
