Match Facts
Sheffield United have won just two of their 10 Premier League games against Man Utd (D1 L7) – their most recent meeting in January 2021, and the first ever such game between the sides on the opening weekend of the inaugural 1992-93 campaign.
Man Utd have scored in all 10 of their Premier League games against Sheffield United, only having a higher 100% scoring record against Swansea (14/14) and Nottingham Forest (13/13) in the competition.
Manchester United have won each of their last nine Premier League games against newly promoted sides, their longest such run since winning 12 in a row from May 2011 to March 2013. Away from home, they have won their last six against promoted sides, only ever winning more in row once before in the competition (7 from November 2006 to May 2009).
Sheffield United have just one point from eight Premier League games this season (W0 D1 L7), the joint-lowest tally by a side at this stage in the competition. Defeat here would be the 10th occasion in English top-flight history of a side having one or fewer points from their first nine in a campaign, while the Blades could be the first side to do so more than once, having had one point in their opening nine in 2020-21.
Sheffield United have conceded two or more goals in each of their last seven Premier League games (21 conceded, 3 per game). There have been just eight occasions of a side shipping 2+ goals in eight straight matches within a single season in the competition, most recently West Brom in February 2021 (8) – a run that the Baggies ended by drawing 1-1 with Man Utd.
Manchester United have forced more high turnovers than any other side in the Premier League this season (90), while only Chelsea (135) have recorded more pressed sequences than the Red Devils (134). Despite this, Erik ten Hag’s side are yet to score from a high turnover in the competition this term.
Sheffield United have faced 176 shots in the Premier League this season, the second-most on record (from 2003-04) by a side in their first eight matches of a campaign in the competition (Hull City 184 in 2016-17). The Blades have allowed 20+ shots in each of their last four league matches, which if they do so again against Man Utd would see them at least match the record for most shots faced on record in a team’s first nine Premier League matches in a season (Hull City 196 in 2016-17).
Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom has lost 14 of his 18 Premier League games as a manager (78% - W3 D1). Among managers to take charge of 10+ games in the competition, only Jan Siewert (80% - 12 defeats in 15) has a poorer loss ratio.
Only James Maddison (48) has had more combined shots and chances created in the Premier League this season than Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes (47 – 25 shots, 22 chances created). Indeed, since the Portuguese midfielder made his competition debut, he ranks top for the two metrics combined with 726 (371 shots, 355 chances created).
Since the start of last season, no side has seen more Premier League goals scored by substitutes (excl. own goals) than Manchester United (15, level with Brighton), with Scott McTominay scoring a brace from the bench last time out against Brentford.
