Oli McBurnie is in sight of becoming Sheffield United’s all-time top Premier League goalscorer, a milestone his manager Chris Wilder will take more satisfaction from than he does.

And the Leeds-born forward's chances appear to have improved now his team have a better balance between defence and attack. McBurnie has 13 Premier League goals for the Blades, two behind Brian Deane's mark. “He won't but I'll be delighted if he gets the extra three, knowing what Brian was about, how he went about it and how he was team as well,' said Deane's former team-mate Wilder. 'To keep Oli fit and healthy over these next six games will be key.

The team's approach will be important too and Wilder slipped into nerdy territory explaining how it had improved since the nadir of early March's 6-0 hammering by Arsenal. 'We have to enjoy the ball,' said Wilder, whose team have been helped in that respect by the introduction of home-grown midfielder Oliver Arblaster. 'It's about belief and backing themselves in possession. We've got our way of playing and there's a structure to our game.
