The most recent information about Sheffield United and their opponents following a hard-fought draw on Saturday.
Sheffield United lost a two-goal lead late in their match against Fulham on Saturday, letting another opportunity to salvage a vital point escape from their fingers. Chris Wilder’s team was left looking at the bottom of the Premier League after missing out on a bicycle kick and a long-range goal.
With a game in hand and nine games left, the Blades are seven points from safety and running out of time due to the rapid disappearance of points. Next up is Liverpool, but in the interim, we’ve compiled the most recent information about United and their opponents.
Blades boss Wilder refused to criticise the officials for the amount of time that was added on against Fulham due to a recent fine he received, choosing not to risk further punishment. “I’m not going to get involved in any controversy in terms of my opinion, because it’s already cost me,” he said after the game.
“I’m quite a hard-working Yorkshire lad that works hard for his money, and I’m not prepared to give to The FA, or anybody else, so I’ll keep those thoughts locked in.”
Everton, United’s relegation opponents, suffered a defeat on Saturday due to an own goal late in the contest from Seamus Colemen. However, Martin Keown, a pundit on Match of the Day, was not satisfied by custodian Jordan Pickford’s involvement in the goal. “Observe the goalie Pickford,” he remarked. His hands are resting on his hips. Red alert should be on for him. He starts to go for it, and then it just hits Coleman, in my opinion, leaving him unsure.
“The goalkeeper comes on to it, Branthwaite goes towards it as well. They all converge on the ball and nobody is taking responsibility and it’s in the back of the net. Disaster.”
