West Brom vs Sheffield United: Confirmed starting lineups as Carlos Corberan makes four changes
Team news live from the Hawthorns, including the starting lineups for both West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United.
It’s nearly time for West Bromwich Albion vs Sheffield United and the starting lineups have been announced for both sides ahead of the clash - as have the lists of those named on the substitutes’ benches.
Carlos Corberan will be hoping to take advantage of the Blades’ poor run of form, as Paul Heckingbottom’s side have failed to win any of their previous five Championship matches. West Brom are desperate for a win as they currently sit second from bottom and three points deep in the relegation zone.
Leading the line for the Baggies today is Karlan Grant as Corberan seems to have opted for a one-up-top formation. Alex Palmer starts in goal ahead of the experienced David Button, meanwhile, Jake Livermore takes the captain’s armband in midfield.
For the visitors, Heckingbottom has gone with a back three of Chris Basham, John Egan and Anel Ahmedhodžić. John Fleck, Iliman Ndiaye and Oliver Norwood will provide support to Oli McBurnie, who starts as the Blades’ centre forward.
