The 2019-20 campaign was an unexpected and magnificent triumph for Sheffield United as The Blades, led by the innovative Chris Wilder and his praised 'overlapping centre-backs' system, surged to a spectacular 9th-place finish in the Premier League, defying all pre-season relegation odds. Leading the line for goals were the joint top league goalscorers, Lys Mousset and Oliver McBurnie, whose 6 crucial goals apiece anchored an exciting side. It was a standout year that secured a top-half finish in their first season back in the top flight after a thirteen-year absence and remains a defining chapter of the club's modern, overachieving history.
