Football: Sheffield United favourites to be relegated from Premier League-Wilder

SHEFFIELD: Sheffield United may have accomplished wonders by gaining promotion from the third tier to the top flight in three seasons but they are still favourites to be relegated at the end of the season, manager Chris Wilder said on Friday .

"Six years in League One to then, all of a sudden, being in the Premier League. The acceleration of where we've gone from - 12th in League One in the space of three or four years to ... the top 10 of the Premier League after one game has been incredible. Wilder also said they cannot be compared to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who gained promotion to the Premier League in 2018 and finished seventh last season to qualify for the Europa League."We are not a team that has been knocking on the door of the Premier League for four, five and six years," Wilder added.

Sunday's match will be Sheffield's first home match in the top flight in 12 years after they were relegated in 2007 and Wilder said he hopes his side can give visiting teams a tough time at the 32,700-capacity Bramall Lane.
