Comments:

League position: 20th Eight of Sheffield United's ten defeats so far in this Premier League season had now been by a one goal margin. Of the teams in the Premier League throughout 2020, the Blades had now scored the fewest goals (21). Oli McBurnie scored his first goal since United's 3-0 win against Chelsea in the Premier League on 11 July 2020.

Comments:

League position: 4th Leicester City avoided losing three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since February 2019. Former Sheffield Wednesday trainee Jamie Vardy had now scored eight of his nine goals so far in this Premier League season in away games. The two goals that Ayoze Pérez had scored in his last 24 appearances for the Foxes in all competitions had both now been scored against Sheffield United.
