and live on Freeview channel 276
The Blades will take on a struggling Hull City side who are desperate for goals having not scored in the Championship since racking up four against Preston on the opening day, while United certainly look like they’ve brought an end to that issue having fired in eight times in the past two games.
Sheffield United boss Slavisa Jokanovic is speaking to the media today before his side’s trip up the road where we will get the latest team news and his thoughts on United’s form since the international break.
Sheffield United Press Conference LIVE: Slavisa Jokanovic speaks ahead of Hull City trip
Olsen on going straight into the team
It’s not easy but I wanted to play the game, like everyone else who plays football. We want to play games but it will take time. It’s new teammates, new coaches. Hopefully I can learn quickly and do well.
Olsen on his Sheffield United debut
It could be better. I’m not happy with the first goal they scored, so overall it could be better. Ive been here now for a couple of days, it takes time but hopefully will go pretty fast. I’m just looking forward to the next game already, to forget what happened and move on.
Of course, it’s in your head but you need to stay focused, I’ve done mistakes before. The most important thing is to move on. Ive just tried to keep focus, move on and forget tit and play your game.
Robin Olsen is also up
We’ll be hearing from the Blades’ new goalkeeper this afternoon, too. Stand by for what he has to say about joining the club and his debut against Preston on Tuesday

What Sheffield United's team could look like against Hull City with players returning
Sheffield United boss Slavisa Jokanovic was forced into fielding a side against Preston North End that he ideally wouldn’t have chosen off the back of Saturday’s emphatic win over Peterbrough United.
These two have lifted everyone this past week
And their team mates are enjoying watching them, too

Sheffield United’s young attacking sensations continue to pull in the headlines after a memorable week in a red and white shirt.
It’s press conference day
After four points from two games since the international break, things are looking up for the Blades even despite letting slip a lead on Tuesday to draw with Preston.
Hull City are next up for United on Saturday and Slavisa Jokanovic has a few things to ponder regarding his team selection. Sander Berge came off the bench on Tuesday and scored to put himself back in the frame for a start, while Ben Davies is likely to return from injury and there’s hope that Ben Osborn has recovered from a bug he picked up at the weekend which ruled him out of the North End match.
Hull, meanwhile haven’t won since the opening day and are clearly struggling for goals, too - their fans are yet to see the Tigers score in the league at home this season.
We’ll be speaking with Jokanovic this afternoon and a member of the squad to gt the latest ahead of Saturday’s trip to East Yorkshire.
