Bournemouth v Sheff Utd: Pick of the stats
- Published
Here are the key facts and figures before Saturday's game between Bournemouth and Sheffield United in the Premier League.
Bournemouth have won two of their past three league meetings with Sheffield United (D1), more than their first 16 against them before this (W1 D5 L10).
Sheffield United have lost just one of their nine previous league visits to Bournemouth (W5 D3), although that was the most recent, going down 2-1 in the Championship in October 2021.
Since their return to the competition last season, Bournemouth are unbeaten in all seven of their Premier League games against promoted sides (W5 D2), winning the past four in a row including all three so far this term.
Bournemouth's 2-0 win against Burnley last time out ended a seven-game winless run in the Premier League. Their first win of the campaign also came against the Clarets, and also ended a long run without a win (13), kick-starting a run that saw them win seven times in nine games (D1 L1).
Away from home in the Premier League this season, Sheffield United have won the fewest games (1), earned the fewest points (5), suffered the most defeats (10), scored the fewest goals (10) and conceded the most goals (30) of any side.
Sheffield United have conceded 72 goals in their 27 Premier League matches this season, the most by any side in any of England’s top four divisions at this stage of a season since Doncaster Rovers in 1997-98 in the fourth tier (73).
