Pundit Mark Lawrenson has tipped West Ham United to beat Sheffield United in the Premier League.
The two sides will meet at the London Stadium later today, with the visitors coming into the game after a fantastic victory over Arsenal.
The mood for the Hammers is totally opposite after a disappointing defeat to Everton last weekend.
Lawrenson pointed out West Ham’s inconsistency but feels they’ll return to winning ways. As quoted on BBC Sport, he said:
West Ham have had a bit of a dip with their recent results, and they did not play well when they lost to Everton last weekend.
That kind of inconsistency is just what West Ham seem to do, but maybe they won’t do it as many times this season.
The Blades’ away form is very good, but I think this is a tough game for them. Yes, West Ham are very up and down but when they play well at home, they are a very dangerous side.
Lawro backing the Hammers? Is he being serious?
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Lawrenson hasn’t always been so kind to West Ham and some feel he hardly predicts positive results for them.
However, he’s being bold this week, predicting a 2-0 win for Manuel Pellegrini’s side against a very solid defence.
Sheffield United have the joint-best defensive record in the top flight, so knocking two in against them would be a good achievement.
