MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Sheffield United can win consecutive league matches against Wolves for the first time since 1996.
The Blades won the only previous opening day top-flight meeting back in 1961.
Wolves' most recent away win came on the 125th anniversary of Sheffield United's formation, a 2-0 triumph in League One on 22 March 2014.
Sheffield United
Sheffield United are yet to lose on the opening day of a Premier League season, winning two and drawing two.
However, they have won their opening league match just once in six seasons, a 1-0 home victory versus Brentford in the Championship in 2017.
The Blades could lose four successive league matches for the first time since a run of six defeats in September 2013 in League One.
Chris Wilder has won 99 of his 195 matches as Sheffield United manager and needs one victory to become the first Blades boss to reach 100 wins in fewer than 200 games.
Their ninth-place finish last season was the first time the Blades had ended a top-flight campaign in the top half of the table since 1991-92.
Last season, Sheffield United recorded a league-low 114 shots on target. However, they conceded only 39 goals, a Premier League record for a newly-promoted club.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves played 59 matches in all competitions in 2019-20, with their season lasting for 383 days.
Last season, Wolves set new club Premier League records for most points (59) and most goals scored (51).
They have finished seventh in both of their Premier League seasons under Nuno Espirito Santo, their best top-flight returns since finishing sixth in 1980.
Wolves are unbeaten in their opening league match in the past seven seasons since defeat against Leeds in 2012.
They won only three of their 18 Premier League matches in 2019-20 against the other teams who finished in the top half of the table (D8, L7).
Wolves recovered an unrivalled 21 points from losing positions last season and dropped the fewest points when ahead.

Not good to have our Willy exposed!

Notice that Southgate was at Bramall Lane last night. Can only have been to watch Coady, and he must have been impressed. He needs to decide whether England play with 3 or 4 at the back. If he goes with 3 then Coady is surely an automatic choice

The problem with Marcal playing in the back three was that he didn't actually win too many headers last night; which isn't surprising given his height. He definitely tightened up that side though and was probably a reason behind why Saiss had such a good game.

I don't like seeing the Willy exposed, it just leads to cock-ups.

Very much deserved, but I'm not sure being in Garth Crooks' team of the week is much of an honour these days.

There are a few pillocks in the world of football punditry but none more so than Crooks
Saiss justifies some recognition from his performance yesterday though

Just seen that Blouse legend Jude Bellingham has scored on his Dortmund debut. Dave or whatever he's called today will be happy.
