The Blades are routed to the bottom of the Premier League and are winless in their last 12 top-flight outings, losing their previous five matches. Chris Wilder's side have taken the lead in their last three fixtures against Manchester United, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest before being comfortably beaten. United took the lead against the Tricky Trees through Ben Brereton-Diaz and created an xG (expected goals) of 2.27 compared to Forest's 1.37 but were punished for missing too many chances. Callum Hudson-Odoi netted a brace on either side of Ryan Yates' goal to complete the comeback, with the winger's second strike marking the 100th time that the Blades have conceded in the Premier League this campaign. The visitors have only won three games this season and will finish on less than 20 points if they lose today.

Everton are unbeaten in their previous four Premier League matches and are in 15th position, 11 points above the relegation zone with just two games remaining. The Toffees secured their top-flight status against Brentford with a third straight win before a 1-1 draw with Luton Town in their last match. Dominic Calvert-Lewin put Everton ahead at Kenilworth Road with a first-half penalty, but it was cancelled out by Elijah Adebayo's leveller just seven minutes later. It has been a memorable period for the hosts, as Sean Dyche received the Premier League Manager of the Month award for April after his side collected 13 points from 18 available. Off the pitch, Everton have withdrawn their appeal against a two-point deduction for breaching Premier League financial rules.
