Brighton v Sheffield United: match preview

Brighton v Sheffield United
Brighton v Sheffield United: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Two exciting managers meet for the first time in the Premier League. Graham Potter and Chris Wilder, who previously plied their trade in the Championship, have been mightily impressive in the top flight. Wilder’s Sheffield United are unbeaten on the road and in high spirits after winning consecutive matches for the first time this season. If they avoid defeat they will match Burnley’s record of nine undefeated for a promoted side away from home. Potter’s Brighton are finding a new attacking identity – Neal Maupay being the key addition of flair and goals – and when it works they have the power to dampen United’s spectacular start.
