Brammall Lane will host a fixture which will have an impact at both ends of the Premier League on table on Wednesday evening as bottom side Sheffield United host second-placed Liverpool.
The Blades sunk to the bottom of the table at the weekend, with a dismal 5-0 defeat away against fellow strugglers Burnley leading to the dismissal of Paul Heckingbottom. He has been replaced in the role by Chris Wilder, who makes his return to the club having left his role in 2021, being replaced by Heckingbottom in simlar circumstances to which they face this season.
Liverpool will provide a tough first assignment for Wilder, with Jurgen Klopp's side topping the league's form table following 14 points from their last six matches. They have, however, stuttered on the road in recent weeks and have now gone three games without a win on their travels.
Should Arsenal fail to win against Luton on tuesday night, Liverpool can rise to the summit of the Premier League should they emerge from the match victorious. Sheffield United, meanwhile, face the threat of being cut adrift in 20th place, with their goal difference of -28 also causing concern.
The last time these two sides met was in a Premier League fixture back in 2021, with Liverpool winning 2-0. The Reds have won on their past three visits to Sheffield United and will be expecting to claim yet another win against a side who have won just once in 14 games so far this season.
