Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Sheffield United’s trip to Everton. At the start of the season few would have predicted that it would be the Blades rather than the Toffees pushing for Europe, but here we are. Can United bounce back from an underwhelming defeat last time out to keep their Europa League quest alive? Team news is coming up…

The hosts are in the tunnel, the visitors are making their way onto the pitch through the stands. Both teams wearing their traditional colours.

Everton haven't played here since 2007. Mikel Arteta scored for them that day, while a 24-year-old Jagielka was in the Sheffield team.

Ten minutes to go until kick-off. If you want some pre-game reading, here's Michael Hinks on some of the players potentially robbed by the cancellation of this year's Ballon d'Or.

The Blades appear to perhaps be planning for life after Henderson too.

One sub-plot to watch is a battle between the goalkeepers. Jordan Pickford is England's incumbent number one, with Dean Henderson one of his biggest challengers for the honour. Following David De Gea's latest disasterclass yesterday, the Red Devils will be paying even closer attention to Henderson as they weigh up whether he could challenge to be their first-choice goalie next season.

The Blades could do the double over Everton for the first time since the 1992-93 season today.

As for United, European football is at stake. Their fate is out of their hands, even if it ends up with seventh place being the cut-off point for a Europe League spot, but you can find a full summary of all the permutations here.

An explanation for Kean's absence. A real shame not to be able to give him a run in the side when Everton have so little at stake.

The Blades are on a four-game winning streak at home in the Premier League, with the last of those victories a comprehensive 3-0 triumph over Chelsea. Everton are four matches without a win.

Everton haven't won at Bramall Lane since 1992. To be fair, they have only played here twice since.

In contract, Carlo Ancelotti makes four changes. Jarrad Branthwaite - who turned 18 last month - makes his first start in central defence as Mason Holgate is injured, while Theo Walcott, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Djibril Sidibe also come into the team. Walcott scored a late leveller against Aston Villa last time out. It's a youthful bench, but one lacking Moise Kean despite the presence of two goalkeepers.

EVERTON: Pickford, Sidibe, Branthwaite, Keane, Digne, Walcott, Andre Gomes, Davies, Sigurdsson, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison. Subs: Stekelenburg, Joao Virginia, Baines, Coleman, Iwobi, Bernard, Banigime, Gordon, Simms.

Despite being unhappy with how his side performed against Leicester City, Chris Wilder makes no changes. That means John Fleck must make do with a place on the bench, so too ex-Toffee Phil Jagielka. The Blades will play in their trademark 5-3-2 formation.

SHEFFIELD UNITED: Henderson, Baldock, Basham, Egan, O’Connell, Stevens, Norwood, Osborn, Berge, McBurnie, McGoldrick. Subs: Moore, Jagielka, Lundstram, Fleck, Robinson, Freeman, Clarke, Sharp, Zivkovic.

But first, speaking of Europe, here’s the latest transfer gossip from then content.
