Sheffield United are welcoming Brighton & Hove Albion for another important game after their 0-1 result against 12th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers.
- Sheffield United have the fewest scored goals (17) in Premier League
- Brighton & Hove Albion have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Sheffield United form and stats
With 3 Premier League wins, 1 draw and 12 defeats from their home games, Sheffield United, who have the fewest scored goals (17) in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Sheffield with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Aston Villa game, 52 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Sheffield, their manager P. Heckingbottom and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Sheffield haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 225 minutes ago. B. Osborn scored that one.
Sheffield lost their last game at Wolverhampton Wanderers (placed 12th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Sheffield lost 0-3 at home to Arsenal.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Sheffield United here at Bramall Lane in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 16 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sheffield defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 16 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Brighton has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Chelsea for a Premier League game that ended a draw (0-0). Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Everton.
