Sheffield United will not be too disheartened with their 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Manchester City who sit so many places above them in the table.  They achieved 20% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Manchester City's tally of 30 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.  

They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.  

Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.

There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Everton players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers.  In that game they recorded 47 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 11 shots on goal.  

Having conceded 10 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points.   Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.  

Away from home in the league, Abdoulaye Doucouré has given the Everton travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 4 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
