According to the official Premier League website, West Ham United’s match against Sheffield United promises to make Premier League history.
On Saturday, September 30, the Hammers will play host to the recently promoted Blades at the London Stadium in the Premier League.
With 10 points, the host team is now seventh in the standings, while their approaching opponents are last with just one point.
According to the official Premier League website, “bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United have the chance to produce a Premier League first against West Ham on Saturday after suffering an 8-0 loss to Newcastle United last weekend.”
“After losing by eight goals or more, no team has ever won on the road, and only twice has a team drawn or won their subsequent match.”
The journey to East London will undoubtedly be a very difficult test for Sheffield United, who have struggled in the Premier League since being promoted from the Championship last season.
However, given that the club is eager to recover from that crushing loss to Newcastle, things may go one of two ways for the Blades at the London Stadium.
Paul Heckingbottom will be hoping against hope that his team will be ready for the challenge against West Ham and eager to redeem that error. Therefore, they might show up with a determined attitude and start attacking their opponents right once.
On the other hand, coming into the game with a complete lack of confidence could be picked up by the hosts, who could take advantage of it and rout to a three-point victory. The Blades are yet to claim a victory this year, having drawn just one and lost five of their six league games.
A Premier League journalist has criticized Moyes and suggested a “worrying pattern” for the club in unrelated West Ham news.
