Everton v Sheffield United: match preview

Everton v Sheffield United: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: Guardian

Phil Jagielka is guaranteed a warm reception on his return to the club he served with distinction for 12 years but his former teammates will have to improve significantly on their last outing at Bournemouth to receive the same from the Goodison faithful. Everton have been strong at home and taken maximum points so far, in contrast to their dreadful away form, but Chris Wilder’s newly-promoted side have impressed on their travels this season. Sheffield United came away with a point from both Bournemouth and Chelsea and should pose a real test to Everton’s creative options. Andy Hunter
