The Premier League's bottom two teams meet at Bramall Lane on Tuesday evening, with Sheffield United having the chance to move to within one point of West Bromwich Albion.
In what has been a horror season for them so far, the last week has been a week of hope for the Blades.
Sheffield United traveled to Old Trafford and beat Manchester United 2-1 on Wednesday. They also put in a disciplined performance at the Etihad Stadium at the weekend, but went down 1-0 to Manchester City.
The loss at the Etihad left Chris Wilder's side on just eight Premier League points for the season, and still 10 points adrift of safety.
Trending
Even though they have played much better than the table suggests at the moment, Sheffield United need results soon if they are to turn their season around.
Meanwhile, the Baggies aren't faring much better. Since the draw at Anfield on Boxing Day, which was touted as a potential turning point for their season, they have picked up just four Premier League points.
One of those points came at Craven Cottage against Fulham on Saturday. They came back from a goal down to lead 2-1 thanks to goals from Kyle Bartley and Matheus Pereira. However, Ivan Cavaleiro equalized late in the game for Scott Parker's side to secure a share of the spoils.
As it stands, West Brom are six points adrift of Brighton & Hove Albion, who currently occupy the 17th and last safe spot in the Premier League standings.
