Sheffield United have shipped 59 goals in 23 Premier League games this season. The last top-flight side to concede 60 goals as few as 24 games into a season was Ipswich Town in 1963-64 (24th game), while the record in the Premier League era is Barnsley in 1997-98 (60th goal in 25th game). Wilder’s men will need to see drastic improvement today after conceding five goals at home to Aston Villa in their previous fixture. With the Blades sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table, 10 points adrift, they will be desperately looking for three points today to build some momentum in their fight to stay in the division.
