It has been a difficult season so far for Sheffield United as they have struggled upon their return to the Premier League.
Former manager Paul Heckingbottom was active in the transfer market during the summer as he brought in the likes of Gustavo Hamer, Auston Trusty and Cameron Archer all agreed to join the Blades ahead of the new season. There were some blows in the transfer market with Sander Berge joining fellow Premier League newcomers Burnley and Iliman Ndiaye head to French giants Marseille.
Yet for all of the business conducted, the Blades have struggled and head into Friday night's tough-looking trip to in-form Aston Villa sat at the bottom of the table after winning just two of their first 17 league games.
