All you need to know about Sheffield United's trip to Brighton and Hove Albion

The Star’s United writer James Shield analyses some of the key figures set to be involved and the statistical trends surrounding a match set to have a huge bearing on the visitors’ survival hopes.

The Teams: Albion - Sanchez, Webster, White Dunk, Alzate, March, Lamptey, Bissouma, Lallana, Wellbeck. Trossard. United - Ramsdale, Basham, Egan, Robinson, Stevens, Baldock, Ampadu, Norwood, Fleck, McGoldrick, Burke.

The Referee: Peter Bankes, who averages exactly three cautions per game this season, will take charge of the contest while Michael Oliver, who oversaw United’s game against Manchester United on Thursday, is on VAR duty at Stockley Park.

The Form Guide: United have lost all but one of their 13 league outings so far this term, with their only point coming from a draw against Fulham. However, they have won three and drawn two of their last four meetings with Albion, including the corresponding fixture last season when an Oli McBurnie goal proved enough to settle the game. Albion’s two wins in the competition so far have both come away from home. They have failed to score in their last two outings, which United netted twice against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

The Details: Brighton and Hove Albion versus Sheffield United, kick-off midday tomorrow. Pre, in-game and post-match coverage is available via The Star, in print and online.
