Before Crystal Palace host Sheffield United this Saturday at Selhurst Park, check out these top facts on the Blades in the Premier League...
- Sheffield United’s game against Manchester United on 15th August 1992 was the very first Premier League match to be played, and ended in a 2-1 victory for the Blades courtesy of a Brian Deane double. Deane remains their top PL goalscorer with 15 goals.
- In 2006/07 United were relegated on the last day of the season after losing 1-2 at home to Wigan Athletic. The result left them on the same points total as Wigan but with an inferior goal difference of -23 compared to the Latics' -22.
