Sheffield United have won more Premier League away games against Everton than they have any other opponent (3), while their four wins overall against them in the competition is their joint-most versus one side (also 4 v Chelsea).

Sheffield United have conceded 100 Premier League goals this season, just the second side to do so in a single campaign in the competition after Swindon in 1993-94. In a 38 (or less) game English top-flight season, only Darwen (112 in 1891-92) and Leicester (102 in 1908-09) have shipped more.

Everton (49) are one opposition goal off becoming the 17th different team to concede 50+ in the Premier League this season, just the second time as many teams have shipped as many in the same season (18 in 1992-93). It would be the most in a 20-team top-flight campaign since 1909-10 (17), and the first time as many as 85% of teams have done so since 1965-66 (86% - 19/22).

His rate of a goal every 158 minutes is the second best by a Blades player in a single Premier League campaign (min. 500 minutes), after Nathan Blake in 1993-94 (145).
