LIVE: Sheffield United vs Tottenham

Sheffield United are unbeaten in their last five top-flight home games against Spurs (W3 D2) since a 1-2 loss in December 1975.

Mourinho makes only one change to his side from their win over West Ham last time out. Alli drops to the bench as Bergwijn comes into fold in the final third. The Portuguese keeps faith in the centre-back pairing of Sanchez and Dier, with Alderweireld and Vertonghen remaining on the sideline.

The Blades have made two changes to their side from their defeat to Arsenal. John Fleck and John Lundstram miss out on the contest, which sees Berge and Osborn slot into the midfield. United can only name seven subs, highlighting the issues that Wilder faces regarding injuries in his squad.

TOTTENHAM SUBS: Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Harry Winks, Erik Lamela, Dele Alli, Paulo Gazzaniga, Tanguy Ndombele, Oliver Skipp, Gedson Fernandes.

TOTTENHAM (4-2-4): Hugo Lloris; Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier, Ben Davies; Moussa Sissoko, Giovani Lo Celso; Lucas Moura, Harry Kane, Son Hueng-min, Steven Bergwijn.

SHEFFIELD UNITED SUBS: Billy Sharp, Kieron Freeman, Lys Mousset, Simon Moore, Jack Rodwell, Richairo Zivkovic. 

SHEFFIELD UNITED (3-5-2): Dean Henderson; Chris Basham, John Egan, Jack Robinson; George Baldock, Sander Berge, Oliver Norwood, Ben Osborn, Enda Stevens; Oli McBurnie, David McGoldrick.

Spurs have had time to build their fitness over the last nine days since their last match. They've been solid in the two games since their return, playing out a 1-1 draw against Manchester United and beating West Ham. Jose Mourinho's men have fallen off the pace of their rivals in pursuit of a Champions League spot and need a victory tonight to keep themselves in the running.

The Blades have not enjoyed life since the restart, beginning with their controversial draw against Aston Villa. Since then, Chris Wilder's men were beaten handily by Newcastle United and Manchester United in the Premier League. To make matters worse they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Arsenal from a last-minute goal by Dani Ceballos last time out. The Yorkshire-based club will hope that their luck will turn tonight.

Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League clash between Sheffield United and Tottenham at Bramall Lane.
