Preamble
Good, Sheffield United, if you want to have any chance of escaping relegation, you probably need to win today. Against the much-lauded (but often inconsistent) Brighton, the Blades' chances may be slim, but Chris Wilder's impact is definitely having an effect, to an extent. United have collected eight points from Wilder's 10 league games in charge so far, an improvement on the five points they managed from 14 games under Paul Heckingbottom.
The Bramall Lane factor could be a boost for the Blades this afternoon, as was their previous performance, winning 3-1 at Luton in impressive fashion. Official team news will be coming shortly, but Ben Brereton Díaz could well miss out through injury, which is a blow considering the form he has shown since signing on loan in January. For Brighton, Simon Adingra has returned fresh from win the Afcon with Ivory Coast while Ansu Fati and Kaoru Mitoma could also return to the matchday. João Pedro is among those ruled out for the visitors.
Kick-off is at 2pm GMT – stay with us throughout the afternoon for the latest news.
