Sheffield United have nine points after 20 matches.

The fewest points a team had at this stage of a Premier League season and avoided relegation is 11 by West Brom in 2004-05.

The Blades have earned just one point from their last four league fixtures and are winless in nine.

They have also conceded the first goal in 16 Premier League matches this season, more than any other side.

Since Chris Wilder has come in, they have won one and drawn one from six league matches, and won their last game in the FA Cup 4-0.

We'll have full team news from Bramall Lane shortly but here's what we know ahead of today's later kick-off at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly has a chance of returning but Tyler Adams, Ryan Fredericks, Adam Smith and Milos Kerkez are still out.

Marcos Senesi is suspended, while Dango Ouattara and Antoine Semenyo are away on international duty.

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah is at the Africa Cup of Nations and suffered an injury in Egypt's opening game.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andy Robertson, Dominik Szoboszlai and Kostas Tsimikas remain on the sidelines.

Wataru Endo is at the Asia Cup with Japan.
