    What's the longest you've had to wait to see your team win? I once went five full years between witnessing away wins - though admittedly I wasn't getting to too many games then.

    Let's hear your best drought stories...

  2. Post update

    Sheffield United v Newcastle (18:00 GMT)

    Steve Bruce, who released Chris Wilder when he was managing the Blades 20 years ago, is having a chat out on the pitch with the current Sheffield United gaffer.

    Plenty of respect out there.

  3. Don't go on about it...

    Sheffield United v Newcastle (18:00 GMT)

    Sheffield United

    Sheffield United are winless in their 17 Premier League games this season – only Bolton in 1902-03 (22) have had a longer run without a win from the start of a top-flight campaign.

  4. Post update

    No rain at least at a chilly-looking Bramall Lane, the Newcastle team have all trooped off their coach and signed in with their apps.

    We'll have team news for you shortly.

  5. 'Every game is a must-win'

    Sheffield United v Newcastle (18:00 GMT)

    Sheffield United

    Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to Sky Sports: "We've been upbeat all season but there's definitely a different feeling now after the win in the cup.

    "Every game is a must win for us at the moment, we just need to chip away at our target. Newcastle are coming here to a team who haven't won, they won't want to get beat by us, that brings a pressure.

    "Whoever takes the game by the scruff of the neck comes out with the points."

  6. Today's action

    The Blades can finally get that first W up on the board, while later on Manchester United could go top of the table and Everton can move back into the top four.

    Landmarks on the horizon.

    Sheffield United v Newcastle (18:00 GMT)

    Wolves v Everton (20:15 GMT)

    Is tonight the night that Sheffield United finally win their first game of the season?

    A nine-point gap to safety sounds a lot better than 12 after all...
