Sheffield United have reached the do or die stage of the Premier League season. After Wednesday’s defeat to Manchester United, the Blades know that defeat at Newcastle United on Saturday will see them relegated from the top flight. It’s been a long old season at Bramall Lane and Chris Wilder’s side remain rooted to the foot of the table, despite their best efforts. Their cause isn’t helped by the sheer amount of injuries they have at the minute, with a number of key men being ruled out for the...
Sheffield United have been officially relegated to the Championship after their latest heavy defeat of a season to forget this afternoon. The Blades have long been doomed for the drop but could have staved it off for the time being with victory at Newcastle United, a prospect that looked to have more potential when Anel Ahmedhodzic put them ahead early on. But the hosts replied in the first half through Alexander Isak although the Blades will wonder how they went in at the break after missing a...
Sheffield United set an unwanted Premier League record this afternoon as their sorry season continued with a 3-1 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. It was a familiar story for the Blades, who could have easily been four or five goals ahead at the break but spurned a host of golden chances after Ben Brereton Diaz had put them ahead from the spot against his former side. Forest levelled through Callum Hudson-Odoi’s finish, with the former Chelsea man sealing victory for his side after skipper Ryan...
Man United's nightmare season took another. Antony's first league goal of the season was cancelled out by a late spot-kick. Arne Slot needs to be his own manager. Replacing Jurgen Klopp is an impossible job. Don't try to emulate him - Listen to the
Sheffield United are preparing to face Newcastle United this weekend in a fixture that could see them relegated back to the Championship. The Blades have not had a realistic chance of survival for some time, with injuries and poor recruitment curtailing their campaign before it really began. Chris Wilder and his staff will already be preparing for next season, but there is still some Premier League business to take care of first, with four fixtures remaining. The first of the four comes against...
Eddie Howe has confirmed Newcastle United will be without Kieran Trippier and Migiuel Almiron when they take on Sheffield United this week. The Blades travel to the North East on Saturday afternoon needing a win to avoid the possibility of being relegated from the Premier League this weekend. Chris Wilder's side will be given encouragement by the fact that Newcastle will be some way short of being at full strength for the clash, with the game expected to come too soon for Nick Pope and...
Sheffield United’s remarkably bad luck on the injury front continued this week with three key men struggling for fitness ahead of this weekend’s trip to Newcastle United. Skipper Oli McBurnie missed Wednesday night’s trip to Manchester United with a groin injury, while Jayden Bogle and James McAtee both made way at Old Trafford with physical issues. McBurnie went for a scan this morning [Thursday] to determine the extent of the injury amid fears that his United career may be over, with just four...
A point was all they needed, after months of hard work clawing back the gap that they found themselves with after a horrendous start to the season. Even in defeat they knew that only a win for both Plymouth Argyle and Birmingham City would send them down, but that wasn’t enough to stop most battle-hardened Wednesdayite from heading into this one a bag of nerves. They couldn’t have got off to a better start as Liam Palmer and Josh Windass gave them a 2-0 lead going into the break, but results...
Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo will be checking on the fitness of a host of players ahead of this Saturday's clash with Sheffield United. Forest travel to Bramall Lane needing a win to avoid dropping into the Premier League relegation zone with two more games still to play. The Reds have won just one of their last last 10 league outings and currently sit just a point above the drop zone. Of course, the Blades cannot catch them at this point in the season, but Luton Town and...
When Chris Wilder lamented a “leadership issue” at Sheffield United, the name of a presumed transfer target sprang to my mind. Jacob Greaves is the kind of player who doesn’t go missing in action, unlike those Wilder felt did exactly that in the 4-1 eclipse by Burnley last Saturday. Not that Hull City will be open to bids for an established and popular player or that United could afford him. Currently, that is. But Greaves is precisely the sort the Blades boss will be looking to recruit - and a...
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has opened up on the challenges of managing what he has described as a “difficult group to deal with” amid the Blades’ slide out of the Premier League. The Blades will play Championship football next season - and start on minus two points - after a horrendous relegation campaign. The Blades have become the first side in Premier League history to concede 100 goals in 38 games - the only ever side to do so was Swindon Town in 1993/94, over 42 matches - and...
