A result that may have been a straightforward victory before the Christmas period but David Moyes has brought out a mini-revival from this West Ham side.

They hammered Bournemouth 4-0 on New Year's Day and followed that up with a 2-0 away win in a tricky FA Cup tie against Sky Bet League One side GIllingham.

The Christmas period wasn't so kind to Sheffield United, although they did pick up a win away at Brighton before earning a point at home to Watford.

They were beaten away at Manchester City and Liverpool in back-to-back contests; results that can't draw too much criticism given the harsh fixture scheduling.

Despite recent results, the Blades find themselves as 10/11 favourites while West Ham can be found at a price as big as 17/5. The Asian Handicap having the Blades at -0.5 shows that the backing is there for a home win.

It doesn't have the makings of a high-scoring classic - more like a contest where Moyes will be satisfied for his side to be leaving with a point.

They are likely to just be outdone by a hard-working Blades side, one who will be eager to return to winning ways and have a full squad to choose from according to their boss Chris Wilder.
