Souza, no McBurnie, shape? Sheffield United predicted XI for Liverpool game after Chris Wilder return: gallery

Chris Wilder's second tenure at Sheffield United gets underway with tough Liverpool test

Chris Wilder was giving nothing away as regards the first team he will select in his second spell in charge of Sheffield United, when he faced the media earlier today. Wilder's first game back after his return is at home to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side, who are second in the table and looking to keep pace with leaders Arsenal.

Wilder admitted, when meeting the media at Shirecliffe this afternoon, that United need to approach the game like an FA Cup tie as they look to bounce back from Saturday's 5-0 tousing against Burnley at Turf Moor. He is definitely without striker Oli McBurnie, banned for two games after being sent off in that game, while George Baldock is a doubt after limping off in the first half.

We tasked our man to step into Wilder's shoes and select the side he would send out to face Klopp's Reds at Bramall Lane, given the occasion and personnel available - do you agree, or what would you do differently?
