Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has been speaking to the media to preview Friday's Premier League game at Aston Villa.
Here are the main headlines from his news conference:
On Aston Villa's run of 15 wins in a row at Villa Park: "It doesn't come much tougher. They are on a fabulous run, an incredibly well-coached team with outstanding individuals. And it is an opportunity for them to go top of the division on Friday."
On Villa boss Unai Emery: "He is a world-class operator in terms of what he has achieved and what he has won in Europe and the standing he has in the game."
Discussing injuries and the availability of players in his squad, Wilder said: "There are some issues that we need to resolve in the long and medium term. But short term we have a few issues leading up to that game which is not ideal."
He added that his current playing squad are "young, inexperienced and naive" in terms of Premier League experience and age profile.
Wilder is confident in what he has seen in his current squad but added they must be "together and produce one of those Sheffield United performances" to get a result.
