West Ham vs Sheffield UnitedEngland – Premier LeagueDate: Saturday, 26 October 2019Kick-off at 15:00 UK/ 16:00 CETVenue: Olympic Stadium (London).Match preview
Given the talent at his disposal, Manuel Pellegrini will not be too concerned at this stage, but Chile will be aware that his side must regain their earlier momentum sooner rather than later.
Performance at Goodison Park last weekend was their worst in the league since the beginning of August, and it marked the fourth fixtures in all competitions without success.
While the home meeting with Sheffield United and Newcastle United that could be considered ideal when needing to get back to winning ways, failing to do so would leave West Ham lodged in mid-table, where they found themselves for most of last season.
However, their opponents on Saturday are no longer considered as favorites for relegation in May, after taking seven points from a possible 12.
Three clean sheets - against Everton, Watford and Arsenal respectively - have been registered during that run, with the only goal they have conceded to belong to a mistake from goalkeeper Dean Henderson against Liverpool.
Chris Wilder realized he had to make sure his squad to maintain the current level of their work, although the Blades boss may be able to enjoy a high position of the club at the table instead concerned with what is going on behind them.
While only four points separate the Sheffield United from relegation, only three keep them away from fifth place, and Wilder will be eager to take advantage of the opportunity to put himself in contention at the right end of the table.

West Ham
West Ham have no fresh injuries, with Fabianski still be the only missing link in the side. A great loss, given the tremendous saving goal tally, but Roberto proved last week shot-stopping West Ham may be able to survive a few more weeks.
Andriy Yarmolenko is expected to start after Pablo Fornals also failed to impress in the previous fixtures, and there can also be returned to the side for Jack Wilshere.
Sheffield United
Sheffield United did not have an injury, which means Christ Wilder is free to choose whoever he pleases, which is most likely set to be the same side that impressed against Arsenal.
the defense has not changed much since the beginning of the season, and this general pattern will continue to go to the match-next week, as they look to take three points and conceded.
