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...

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.

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.

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.

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."

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)

Burnley v Manchester United (20:15 GMT)

Wolves v Everton (20:15 GMT)

Is tonight the night?

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...
