Newcastle return to domestic action this weekend after a credible draw in their Champions League opener against AC Milan. Sheffield United will have home field advantage, as they look for a first league victory of the season in the Premier League.
It has been a challenging start to the 2023-24 season for Sheffield United, as they have struggled to adjust to life back in the Premier League. The Blades are still looking for their first league win of the season, as they have lost four of their opening five matches. That run of form leaves Sheffield United just above the bottom three spots in the English top flight.
They come into this fixture after losing last weekend, meaning that they weren’t able to build on their draw against Everton before the international break. Their most recent defeat was suffered against Tottenham Hotspur, as they failed to hang on to a 1-0 win in North London. In truth, the Blades were extremely unlucky in that fixture, as Spurs netted twice in the space of two injury time minutes to secure a dramatic success.
Newcastle United return to domestic action this weekend after picking up a draw at the San Siro against Milan in midweek. The Magpies are slowly improving after a rocky start to the season, which saw them lose three of their opening four matches.
Eddie Howe’s side landed victory for the first time since the opening day last Saturday, as they managed to edge to a 1-0 success against Brentford at St. James’ Park. Their only goal of the game was scored from the penalty spot, as Callum Wilson secured a much-needed win for the home side.
Newcastle have a strong record in this fixture, as they have won five of the previous seven meetings across all competitions. Over the same period, the Blades have recorded just a single win. Newcastle have won three of the last four Premier League meetings between the sides, but they were beaten 1-0 in this exact fixture in 2020-21.
It will be interesting to see how Newcastle deal with this return to action after being in the Champions League in midweek. That could offer Sheffield United hope, and a chance is taken on the Blades to end their winless start to the season in front of their home fans.
