History of the Plymouth Argyle v Sheffield United fixture

Sheff. Utd. face a trip to Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Blades will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 12 and win only 4 of the 22 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2009, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Championship match.
