Comments:

League position: 20th With his departure confirmed seven days later, this was manager Chris Wilder's final game in charge (played 227, won 106, lost 74 in all competitions). Sheffield United had now conceded 100 goals in 95 home games in the Premier League (scored 115). The Blades had now failed to score in four of their last five games in the Premier League (scored one goal in the other). United had now lost all nine of their games played on a Saturday so far in this Premier League season.

Comments:

League position: 14th Southampton had lost eight and drawn one of their preceding nine games in the Premier League since their 1-0 win against reigning champions Liverpool on 4 January 2021. This was the Saints' first away win in the Premier League since their visit to Brighton and Hove Albion on 7 December 2020; longer than any other team currently in the division. Ex-Blade Che Adams had now scored four goals in his four games in the Premier League against Sheffield United.
