Just 32 hours before their clash with Liverpool, Sheffield United have parted ways with manager Paul Heckingbottom. The Blades’ owner confirmed the decision to talkSPORT, with former manager Chris Wilder returning to take over the hotseat. The club currently sits at the bottom of the Premier League table, having won just one game since their promotion from the Championship in 2022/23.
Liverpool will have to overcome the ‘new manager bounce’ as they face a Sheffield United side with a new manager in the dugout. The Reds sit just two points behind league leaders Arsenal and will be looking to maintain their momentum with a win.
