Speaking to The Argus, Seagulls winger Leandro Trossard picked out his former Genk teammate Sander Berge as a real danger man ahead of Saturday's clash.

He said: "He is a really talented player and I think he will do well in the Premier League and also for them. It is a big transfer. I am very pleased for him and I am looking forward to playing against him.

"He is a really talented player so, hopefully, he won’t be on against us.”

After winning the Belgian first division with Berge last season, Trossard joined Albion last summer for £15m for the Belgian giants.

After a bright start to the season that saw him score in a 1-1 draw against West Ham United on his debut, his progress was halted by a groin injury, which kept him out of action for almost two months.

Discussing his side’s chances ahead of the Bramall Lane clash, the 25-year-old said: “We only look at ourselves and only think you can win games. I think we have done well in our last two games against West Ham and Watford.

“It is not easy if you are 1-0 or 2-0 down at half-time in the Premier League and you can still react, so we have to keep that in mind and take it into the next game.”

The last time the Blades met the Seagulls, Oli McBurnie's strike sealed a 1-0 win for Chris Wilder's side at the AMEX Stadium.
