Comments:

Final league position 2020-21: 20th Sheffield United avoided becoming the first team to lose 30 games in a season in the top division since Stoke City in 1984-85 in League Division One. The Blades avoided becoming the second team to fail to score 20 goals in a season in the Premier League or Football League after Loughborough in League Division Two in 1899-1900 (18). David McGoldrick scored the 1,000th goal of this Premier League season.

Comments:

Final league position 2020-21: 17th Burnley failed in their attempt to keep a clean sheet in three consecutive away games in the top division for the first time since 1955 in League Division One. The Clarets had now lost seven of their last nine games in the Premier League (won two). They had now lost their final game in each of the last five seasons in the Premier League. Burnley named eight of a possible nine substitutes.
