Having suffered contrasting results against lower-league opposition in the FA Cup, Sheffield United and West Ham United resume Premier League action at Bramall Lane on Sunday afternoon.

The Blades ran out comfortable 4-0 winners over Gillingham in their recent knockout tie, while the Hammers were eliminated at the first hurdle owing to a 1-0 loss to Bristol City.

We say: Sheffield United 0-1 West Ham United


With numerous attackers on the unavailable list and others touch-and-go for the trip to Bramall Lane, West Ham's struggles in the final third seem destined to continue against a Sheffield United side who have tightened up at the back since Wilder's homecoming.

The Blades remain particularly vulnerable in the air, though - music to the ears of set-piece supremo James Ward-Prowse - and with Moyes's side flaunting their defensive nous in the Premier League, a solitary Hammers goal may do the trick this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Bournemouth vs. Liverpool (Sunday, 4.30pm)

With the chance to move five points clear at the top of the Premier League table, Liverpool travel south to square off with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Both sides have spent a fortnight recuperating from recent FA Cup successes, as the Reds overcame Arsenal 2-0 in the third round, while the Cherries produced a stellar fightback to sink Queens Park Rangers 3-2.

We say: Bournemouth 1-2 Liverpool


Bournemouth's horrendous record against Premier League table-toppers makes for extremely grim reading indeed, but Iraola's goal-happy side ought not to be blown to smithereens by an absentee-hit Liverpool, who are particularly vulnerable in the wide areas right now.

However, Klopp's side have been the masters of overcoming adversity this season, and with Bournemouth still looking a little shaky at the back, we have faith in Liverpool to travel back to Merseyside with a fifth successive win and a five-point lead at the top.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
