Sheffield United are off for winter break in Dubai after this but Europe still remains their intended final destination this season. Bournemouth meanwhile will be simply happy to stay out of the Championship and two straight wins, against Aston Villa and Brighton, have bolstered Eddie Howe’s morale. Much may hinge on Chris Wilder’s signing, Sander Berge who is expected to make his home debut in midfield before body and mind can be replenished. Not that Wilder’s players really need a boost. No Premier League team is fitter, or less injury prone, than Sheffield United. Louise Taylor
