From the impact subs to the record among the best in Europe, we pick out five stats you may not have known about Sheffield United's 2019/20 season.

Road trip rewards

Image: Sheffield United have drawn seven away games - but lost just two

Only Liverpool (1) have lost fewer Premier League away games than Sheffield United's two this season. In fact, Jurgen Klopp's Reds are joined only by Serie A side Atalanta (also 1) when it comes to the sides across Europe's top five leagues to have been beaten on the road fewer times than the Blades so far this campaign.

Keeping it clean

Only Liverpool and Burnley have kept more clean sheets than Sheffield United's 10 - Manchester City and Leicester have also recorded 10 - but the Blades' impressively miserly record actually stretches back further. Since the start of last season, they have kept 31 league clean sheets - pipped only by Liverpool (33) and Leeds (32).

Same again

Blades boss Chris Wilder has made only 31 changes to his starting XI in the Premier League this season - fewer than any other side. Jack O'Connell, Enda Stevens, George Baldock, Chris Basham and Oliver Norwood have started all 27 Premier League games, while O'Connell and Baldock have played every minute.

Impact subs

When Wilder has made changes, they have frequently paid off - six goals have been scored by Sheffield United substitutes. That's a league-high haul, along with Manchester City.

Strike it unlucky

All 38 of Oli McBurnie's shots have been inside the penalty area - the most by any player that hasn't had a single shot from outside the box. McBurnie has scored four league goals so far - but has undershot his expected goals of 6.43.

His team-mate David McGoldrick stands alone when it comes to frustrations in front of goal, though; McGoldrick has the highest xG - 6.20 - of players across the Premier League without a league goal so far this season.
