Comments:

League position: 7th Sheffield United had now won three consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since August 1993. Only Liverpool and Manchester City (the top two) had now conceded fewer goals in their home games so far in this Premier League season than the Blades (14). John Egan had now scored in consecutive games having previously failed to score since August 2018. Sheffield United named only eight of a possible nine substitutes.

Comments:

League position: 6th Wolverhampton Wanderers failed in their attempt to win four consecutive away games in the top division for the first time since April 1980 in League Division One. Wolves failed in their attempt equal their club record of keeping clean sheets in three consecutive away games in the top division. They had won six of their preceding seven games in the Premier League against newly-promoted teams.
