Recent form
Everton
Everton's recent form has been impressive, with a run of three consecutive wins against Brentford, Liverpool, and Nottingham Forest, scoring two goals in each of the latter two victories. However, their winning streak was halted by a heavy 6-0 defeat away at Chelsea, which is a particularly high-scoring game compared to their other recent matches. Despite this setback, Everton managed to bounce back with a 1-0 home win against Burnley and a 1-1 draw away at Luton. The Toffees have kept four clean sheets in their last six games, highlighting their defensive resilience. With 83% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals, Everton's games have generally been low-scoring affairs, with the Chelsea defeat being a notable exception.
Sheffield United
Sheffield United find themselves in a dire situation, languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table in 20th position with just 16 points from 36 games. Their recent form has been abysmal, suffering a run of five consecutive defeats, with their last point coming from a 2-2 draw against Chelsea. During this poor stretch, the Blades have conceded goals at an alarming rate, shipping 20 goals in their last six matches, an average of 3.33 per game. Their defensive frailties have been compounded by a lack of firepower up front, scoring just 7 goals in the same period, averaging 1.17 goals per game. The majority of their recent fixtures have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of the matches featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the back of the net. Sheffield United's struggle to keep clean sheets has been a major contributing factor to their current predicament.
