Why Manchester United youngster Dean Henderson is relishing facing Liverpool FC

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder hopes that Dean Henderson's attitude can help his side cause a shock against Liverpool this weekend.

Manchester United loanee Henderson is set for a fiery reception when Jurgen Klopp's side travel to Bramall Lane in the Premier League fixture.

The United youngster will no doubt get plenty of the attention as Liverpool fans look to unsettle him in their quest for three points.

Wilder expects Henderson to be pumped up for the match and the Sheffield United manager thinks the young goalkeeper could have a big role to play.

"I'm sure, knowing Dean, there might be a reaction coming back their way," Wilder told The Sheffield Star. "That's part and parcel of his character, so long as he doesn't overstep the mark and concentrates on his job, then it's all good by me.

"I love his personality, he loves the big games. I'm sure he's really looking forward to the occasion just as much as everyone else is. We can't wait to get started."

Liverpool might not have lost in the Premier League since January this year, but the Sheffield United manager knows an upset could still take place on Saturday.

Wilder added: "There's always a one-off result in any division in any period.

"The game isn't decided before the kick-off and anything can happen either way. We are just concentrating on our shape and discipline and attacking when we can. There's going to be large periods of the game when we are on the back foot, we know that. But we have got to keep that and take care of the details."
