West Brom prepare to entertain Sheffield United at The Hawthorns on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Baggies are clearly on top, winning 51.02% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Hawthorns was two seasons ago, in December 2001, with Sheff Utd inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Baggies in a League Division One match.
