Sheffield United vs West Brom predictions
Sheffield United relinquished top spot in the Championship with Thursday’s 2-0 defeat at home to Burnley but the Blades can get the show back on the road by downing West Brom at Bramall Lane.
Chris Wilder’s side had been on an 11-match unbeaten run prior to that loss to the Clarets and they have been formidable on home soil, winning nine of their 11 Championship clashes.
West Brom, meanwhile, have been derailed by Carlos Corberan's departure to Valencia and Thursday’s 2-1 loss at Derby means that they have won only one of their last nine away games despite being in playoff contention.
Best bet for Sheffield United vs West Brom:
Sheffield United
2pts Evs general

Derby vs Leeds predictions
Leeds have taken 22 points from their last nine matches to get their heads in front in the Championship title race, but they shouldn't be expecting an easy ride at Derby.
The Rams have recorded six of their seven league wins this season at Pride Park, losing only three of their 11 home games and claiming back-to-back successes over Portsmouth and West Brom.
Derby are a defensively disciplined side so backing under 2.5 goals may be the approach to take. That bet has landed in nine of Leeds' 11 away league matches.
Best bet for Derby vs Leeds:
Under 2.5 goals

Middlesbrough vs Burnley predictions
Middlesbrough inexplicably threw away a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Sheffield Wednesday at the Riverside last time out, and they are certainly not guaranteed to bounce back against Burnley, who are 11 points better off than their hosts.
The Clarets are just one point off the top and four away wins on the spin - the last of which came against their title rivals Sheffield United - suggests they will fear nothing on this trip to Teesside.
Boro have conceded six goals in their last two games, so backing Burnley’s top scorer Josh Brownhill to notch his tenth of the campaign by scoring in a fourth consecutive match appeals at a big price.
Best bet for Middlesbrough vs Burnley:
Josh Brownhill anytime goalscorer in Middlesbrough vs Burnley
