Sheffield United are set to pile more pressure on West Brom with a crucial Championship clash at The Hawthorns, as Chris Wilder's side look to build on their recent resurgence.
The visitors have been unbeaten in six matches under the guidance of Wilder, who has overseen an upturn in performances since taking charge. Sheffield United's strong run has brought them to within two points and a place above West Brom in the table, setting up an intriguing encounter between two teams looking to make progress towards the top six.
For West Brom, a back-to-back defeat has seen them slump down the Championship table, leaving them 16th and struggling to stay out of the relegation zone. With Ryan Mason hinting that the team's form is 'a bit of a conundrum,' there may be concerns about their ability to get things sorted ahead of this crucial test against Sheffield United.
However, while West Brom will need to up their game to stop Sheffield United's momentum, they do have one advantage: home advantage. The Hawthorns have proven to be a difficult venue for visitors in recent matches, and Sheffield United may find it tougher than expected to get past the Baggies' defense.
In other Championship action, Norwich City look to build on their improved performances under new manager Philippe Clement, who has made several changes since taking charge. While they still face an uphill battle to avoid relegation, a win over Southampton could be a significant boost for the Canaries' cause.
Southampton have found their scoring boots under Tonda Eckert, and with their strong squad in place, they are likely to cause problems for Norwich's backline. A 2-0 victory is predicted by Sky Sports pundits David Prutton and Simeon Gholam, who believe that Southampton will outscore the visitors.
Elsewhere, Oxford United host fifth-placed Preston at the Kassam Stadium, while Stoke City look to bounce back from a midweek defeat against Swansea. The Potters dropped out of the top six in midweek but still have their sights set on the playoff places, making for an interesting encounter with a Swansea side that has won back-to-back games under new boss Vitor Matos.
With plenty of drama and intrigue to come, EFL fans are in for a treat this weekend as they tune in to Sky Sports to catch all the action.

they're 2nd in the table now and look so solid under Chris Wilder 
West Brom is like, struggling big time 
️
their form has been all over the place 
and I dont see them stopping Sheffield United's momentum at home tho 
sheffield united is on fire right now and it'll be super tough for west brom to stop them! but you know what? they've got that home advantage which could really make a difference. i'm also loving the hype around norwich city's new manager philippe clement, he's making some great changes and it'll be interesting to see how they do against southampton 
might be tough for them but i think they can give it a go! 
. Sheffield United's resurgence is just what the league needed – more unpredictability 
. But seriously, it'll be interesting to see how West Brom bounce back from a two-game losing streak. Maybe they can finally figure out this "conundrum" thing 
.
. Okay, maybe not that optimistic, but it's always fun to dream. Oxford United vs Preston could be decent too, and Stoke City just wants to get back to their playoff aspirations...because one loss isn't the end of the world 
.
. Because that's exactly what we need – more of those 
.
& 2-0 seems pretty possible 
. And don't even get me started on their defense – I've seen them concede some sloppy goals in their last few matches 
. Clement's changes have shown promise, and if they can contain Southampton's attack, a win would be huge for the Canaries' cause 
.
. Chris Wilder has done an impressive job since taking charge, and if they can maintain their momentum, it could be tough for West Brom to stop them. The Hawthorns have been a difficult venue for visitors recently, which gives Sheffield United an advantage 
. If they can't get things sorted ahead of this match, it could be a long day for them. Meanwhile, Norwich City are looking to build on their improved performances under new manager Philippe Clement 
.
. Oxford United hosting Preston looks like a fun matchup, as well as Stoke City trying to bounce back from their midweek defeat 
Now they're fighting for survival, but Chris Wilder seems like a great manager, he's got them playing some decent stuff. West Brom's situation is tough though, they've been struggling and need a win big time to get out of the relegation zone. But you know what? Home advantage can be a game-changer... The Hawthorns are notorious for being a tough nut to crack! 
️
, both teams have been playing some great footy lately. I mean, Sheffield United's winning run is insane! 
. On the other hand, Norwich City vs Southampton looks like an interesting match. If Norwich can hold off the Saints' attack, they might just pull off a miracle 
west brom needs 2 step up their game tho 'cause shfield united r on fire 
! Preston vs Oxford United is gonna be awesome 
, can't wait for all the goals and drama 
Meanwhile, Norwich City vs Southampton is gonna be 
. The football world is full of surprises, and you can't predict a single outcome from these matches. Still, it's gonna be an interesting weekend!
