Latest injury and team news ahead of the Premier League clash between Sheffield United and Wolves at Bramall Lane.

Wolves are on the road this weekend as they travel to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United in the Premier League.

Satuday’s hosts are without a win all season, and sit rock bottom of the league with just one point. The Blades' only positive result was a 2-2 draw with Everton back in early September. Paul Heckingbottom's side have since gone on six matches after that and the Yorkshire side are wondering where a win will come from.

United suffered a 5-0 hammering against Arsenal last weekend with Eddie Nketiah scoring a hat-trick just before the hour before Fabio Vieira scored a penalty and then Takehiro Tomiyasu scored in the sixth minute of stoppage time.

As for Wolves they were the lunch-time kick off on Saturday, and drew 2-2 with Newcastle United at Molineux. Callum Wilson gave the Magpies the lead and then Lemina equalised, but the referee Anthony Taylor controversially awarded a penalty to which Wilson dispatched. Fortunately, Gary O'Neil's men fought back in the second-half and got what they deserved as Hwang Hee-chan scored an equaliser.

The last meeting between Wolves and Sheffield United was back in January 2022 when Wolves cruised to a 3-0 victory in the FA Cup. Daniel Podence scored a brace in between Nelson Semedo's effort. United have not defeated Wolves since the 2019/20 season when they won 1-0 in Juy 2020 after the Premier League season had resumed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Flick through to see the latest injury and team news from the Wolves and Sheffield United camps. United have it worse with several players ruled out with short-term to long-term injuries.
