Emery will see the end of the first half as a sign that his players have it in them to equalise and eventually win, but a big performance after the interval will be required given Wilder’s team’s proclivity to defend effectively in these situations. Speaking of the Blades, more of the same and it wouldn’t be a complete shock if they managed to double their lead. An interesting second half awaits for both sides.
From the first whistle, Sheffield United have shown that they’re no pushovers as they have taken the game to their more illustrious opponents throughout the opening half.
