Chris Wilder has made two changes to his Sheffield United side for this evening’s tough trip to title-chasing Liverpool. The Blades boss has recalled James McAtee and Auston Trusty from last weekend’s draw with Fulham.

Out go Oli McBurnie and Ben Osborn, who are both on the bench against Jurgen Klopp’s men. It means a return to Merseyside for on-loan Everton man Mason Holgate while Ollie Arblaster, 20, faces his biggest test since breaking into the Blades’ first-team.
