"Every team we have played have been established Premier League teams," declared Wilder. "These teams aren't mugs and we've gone toe to toe with them. We've not been overwhelmed."
14:40
What a job Wilder has done with Sheffield United. Promoted against the odds last season, the Blades have made a solid start to life in the Premier League, garnering five points from a tough opening five games.
14:35
Silva has been venting about his side's dreadful away record. "We understand why the fans are frustrated. It's something we are working on to change, but it's not just us, it's really tough to play away in the Premier League. It is up to us to react and achieve a different result, now it is home game and we have to put full focus on that."
14:30
Everton have made a rather disappointing start to their season, prompting questions about Silva's future at the club. A defeat today and the board may well pull the plug on his contract. They just haven't looked the part. Silva doesn't know his best eleven and hasn't been able to get the best out of Kean so far.
14:25
Chris Wilder makes one change to his Sheffield United side that lost 1-0 at home to Southampton. The injured David McGoldrick is replaced by Callum Robinson, while former Toffee Phil Jagielka is named amongst the subs against his old club.
14:20
Moise Kean returns to the Everton side and having come under fire of late, the former Juventus talent must start to produce. He replaces Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who drops to the bench, while Bernard takes the place of Alex Iwobi, as Marco Silva makes two changes to the side that lost 3-1 at Bournemouth last time out.
14:16
Everton XI: Pickford, Digne, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Delph, Schneiderlin, Richarlison, Bernard, Sigurdsson, Kean.. subs: Stekelenburg, Holgate, Calvert-Lewin, Walcott, Tosun, Iwobi, Davies. /// Sheffield Utd XI: Henderson, Baldock, Stevens, O'Connell, Basham, Egan, Flack, Lundstram, Norwood, Robinson, McBurnie.. subs: Moore, Freeman, Morrison, Jagielka, Freeman, Moussett, Osborn.
