# Sheffield United: John Egan takes to Instagram in lead-up to Premier League finale

**Before a ball was even kicked, Sheffield United were tipped by many for [relegation](https://talksport.com/football/578741/adrian-durham-sheffield-united-relegated-premier-league-captain-billy-sharp/) from the Premier League after gaining promotion from the Championship [last season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sheffield-united/startseite/verein/350).**

With only one game left to go in England’s top flight, the Blades currently sit eighth and, even if they lose their last game to Southampton, the lowest they can finish is 10th, per [Premier League.](https://www.premierleague.com/tables)

This is a great achievement for the squad and in particular for manager Chris Wilder, who [supported](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51069883) the club when he was a kid and has now taken them from mid-table in League One to mid-table in the Premier League in four seasons, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sheffield-united/startseite/verein/350).

The Blades have been a revelation on the top flight and they will likely be treated with more respect next season as not only did they manage a top-half finish, but they also kept [13](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/clean_sheet?se=274) clean sheets (so far) in the league, which is the [joint-fourth](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/clean_sheet?se=274) most in the division.

One of the players who has been key to that figure is defender John Egan. The centre-back has played 35 games in the league, scoring two goals, but more importantly being part of every clean sheet that the Blades have kept in the division this term, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-egan/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/121324/wettbewerb/GB1/saison/2019).

Sheffield United fans will likely enjoy his latest [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/CC84WOolt2l/) post, which features an image of several players celebrating, supplementing it with the caption ‘A special group. 1 to go’.

This hints at how good morale is in the squad and how harmonious things are at Sheffield United, and supporters should enjoy how good a squad they currently boast. Hopefully next season the Blades will be pushing to try and finish in a European qualification spot, something which has only [narrowly eluded them](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/tabelle/wettbewerb/GB1/saison_id/2019) upon their return to the top flight this term.
