David Prutton predicts West Brom clash v Sheffield United
David Prutton has backed West Brom to pick up another three points against Sheffield United on Wednesday.
The Sky Sports pundit has backed the Baggies to edge it by one goal to nil at The Hawthorns in the battle of the relegated duo.
Sheffield United have yet to win this season, only picking up one point compared to our four in the opening two.
Writing in his Sky Sports prediction blog on Monday evening, Prutton backed Valerien Ismael to continue his rise to the top.
“It was a first win for Valerien Ismael at the weekend, although it should have been far more comfortable than it was in the end for West Brom against Luton,” he wrote.
“Sheffield United have gotten off to a bit of a slow start under Slavisa Jokanovic. He may need a little patience in reshaping a side that was built in Chris Wilder’s image. Baggies win here for me.”
Brilliant.
We would take this if it was offered to us right at this moment.
It would be a re-run of last season, although we are hoping that the Baggies can dominate the ball much more than they did in the Premier League fixture.
A clean sheet would also be a massive step for Ismael, who was fuming with the goals conceded against Luton when we were cruising at 3-0.
It is more important to get points on the board over level of performances at this stage of the season, that will come – but beating those expected to be around us at the end of the campaign is much better.
Get stuck in, boys.
