The 17th June sees the long awaited return of some Premier League action, albeit behind closed doors.
Being the Blades game in hand, it’s a fixture that looks to give some parity and get the season back on a level playing, Sheffield United astoundingly able to put themselves into the top five with the right result on the day.
We thought we’d take a look back at the reverse fixture which now seems like an age ago.
Back in December, Premier League strugglers Aston Villa visited Bramall Lane to take on a Sheffield United side who had less than a week earlier beaten the other recently promoted side Norwich City.
It was John Fleck who took the plaudits in securing all three points in a 2-0 win for the Blades, United with a convincing second half after just shading a stalemate opening 45 minutes.
The gravitationally challenged Jack Grealish hit the bar with a penalty, given when the ball hit the outstretched arm of John Egan as he tried to clear a cross, but that was as close as Villa came.
