Sheffield United v Liverpool: match preview

One of those quirks of the fixture list dictates that, by Saturday afternoon, Sheffield United will have faced both Merseyside clubs within the space of a week. Unfortunately for Chris Wilder beating a formidably in-form Liverpool at Bramall Lane will almost certainly prove infinitely tougher than winning at Everton last week. United fans should not expect to see too many party pieces from Wilder’s side. Louise Taylor
