Sheffield United

Sheffield United's recent form has been extremely poor, with the team suffering a run of five defeats in their last six Premier League matches.

The Blades have been particularly vulnerable to heavy defeats, with three of their losses coming by margins of five or more goals, including a 6-0 thrashing at home to Arsenal and a 5-0 defeat to Brighton. Sheffield United's current position of 20th in the league table, having earned just 13 points from 27 games, underlines their struggles this season, and their leaky defense and inability to score consistently (averaging just 0.83 goals per game in their last six matches) suggest that they face an uphill battle to avoid relegation.
