Sheffield United are preparing for their fixture against Aston Villa as the Premier League returns today. After a three-month break due to the coronavirus pandemic, many fans can’t wait for football to be back, and it looks like striker Billy Sharp feels the same.
His Instagram post from yesterday was a picture of him celebrating a goal, with the caption ‘1 more sleep 💤 🛏 ⚔️🔴⚪️⚫️ #sheffieldunited #sufc #blades #premierleague‘.

He has seen it all with the Blades as he has played with them in League One, the Championship and now in the Premier League, in which Sheffield United are battling for a Europa League spot. With the veteran striker now 34, he will want to see if the Blades can manage to do the unthinkable and qualify for Europe as soon as possible so that he can be part of the journey.
Sharp has a fine scoring record in his 263 games for the club, bagging 106 goals whilst also registering 33 assists, per Transfermarkt, and in their recent friendlies to get the players prepared for the Premier League, he has been among the goals.
Many United fans would have struggled to sleep last night as their excitement grows for the game today, and hopefully Billy Sharp can grab them the necessary goals needed to claim the three points against relegation-battling Villa.
Blades fans, do you think Sharp can have a big impact in the remaining fixtures? Comment below with your views!
