Blades v Hull City: Updates from Yorkshire ‘derby’
Blades handed a warning ahead of Hull clash
Sheffield United are bracing themselves for an all-out assault from Hull City at Bramall Lane tonight, after manager Paul Heckingbottom detected a pattern in the visitors’ performances under Shota Arveladze.
Despite travelling to South Yorkshire on the back of a three match losing streak, Heckingbottom admits he expects City to try and attack his team.
“There’s been a lot of change and upheaval at Hull,” said Heckingbottom, whose friend Grant McCann was sacked following Acun Ilicali’s recent takeover.
“They’ve had a few dodgy results after responding well but the performances are still there. They commit bodies forward all the time, they like to get men up the pitch, and that’s something we’ve seen in all of their displays.”
