Team News

Sheff Utd
Everton
  • Sheffield United are without six players for the game against Everton.
  • Paul Heckingbottom will be keen to bounce back from their penalties defeat to League One Lincoln City.
  • He may throw new arrival Luke Thomas straight into the starting XI.
  • Dele Alli and Seamus Coleman are all absent for Everton this weekend.
  • Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dwight McNeil are doubtful for the game against Sheffield United.
  • New signing Jack Harrison remains out through injury.
  • Alex Iwobi is ruled out for this fixture with a hamstring issue.
  • Demarai Gray, who has been linked with a move away from the club, has been training away from the first team squad.

Prediction

  • Both Sheffield United and Everton have zero points going into this game, and both will want to kickstart their season with a win in this early six pointer.
  • The Toffees are unbeaten in their last three at Bramall Lane, and also picked up a win in the League Cup against Doncaster Rovers.
  • As for the hosts, they went out on penalties to League One Lincoln City and are fairly low on confidence. They will wake the positives from almost stealing a point off the Champions Manchester City last weekend, but ultimately left with no points on the board.
  • Everton haven't scored a single goal in the league this season so far, but this might prove a good opportunity against another goal shy side in Sheffield United.

  • Beto definitely showed glimpses of being a talisman for Everton, although the end shows that once again, they will have to rely on Pickford to keep them up. As for Sheffield United, their play exceeds the total of their parts, but they lack the ruthlessness that the prem demands. Archer and McBurnie look like a surprisingly potent duo however, and McBurnie’s holdup play, knock ons and layoffs were very effective. Archer in the first half was brilliant

  • I have never seen a team with more lack of ambition than Everton, they stunk

  • Archer having an incredible performance so far, very few chances but excellent movement and decision making

  • Under 2.5 goals obviously, Sheffield to do wonders, after all it's a noon match where underdogs thrive..Sheff 1:0 Everton

  • Everton have only Won 2 away games in the EPL since the start of last season.

  • Sheffield united to win
