Incredible Stat Places Chris Wilder Behind Only Pep Guardiola After Sheffield United See Off Palace

Sheffield United's surge to the top tier of English football is nothing to be scoffed at. Having taken charge of the Blades in 2016, Chris Wilder immediately guided them back into the second division with a stunning 100-point haul.

Their first season back in the Championship was all about consolidation. A respectable mid-table finish ensured they would be granted another crack of the whip the following season, and they wasted no time in capitalising on it by finishing second and returning to the top flight for the first time in 12 years.

Two promotions in three seasons means they've won a fair amount of football matches.
