Sheffield United will hope to claim their first win since returning to the Premier League when Newcastle United visit Bramall Lane on Sunday afternoon.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side have claimed just one point from their opening five games of the season after securing a home draw with Everton among defeats against Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
Those results have left the Blades sat just one place outside of the relegation zone ahead of a home clash against a Newcastle side that are recovering from their visit to Serie A giants AC Milan in a Champions League opener on Tuesday night.
The Magpies have a number of injury issues of their own and manager Eddie Howe has also hinted he could make changes following their San Siro adventures.
Ahead of Sunday’s meeting, The Star looks at the injury issues facing both Heckingbottom and Howe as they look to claim wins in front of the Sky cameras.
