Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Tottenham and Sheffield United. Mauricio Pochettino's side come into this contest off the back of a resounding Champions League victory in midweek, but Spurs haven't won domestically since September. They are currently 11th in the league table, five places below the hugely impressive Blades, who are still unbeaten on the road this season.

24'
Over! Aurier tees up Son who leans back, rushes his shot and blazes it well over the bar.
22'
Shot! Spurs are struggling to get the ball out from the back as Sanchez misplaces a pass. McGoldrick springs forward and tries his luck from 25 yards with a low shot but it's straight at Gazzaniga.
19'
Dier curls a dangerous pass into the penalty area but Son's not quite on the same wavelength as his team mate and fails to reach it.
18'
Danger as O'Connell is played in behind the Spurs defence on the left but his cross is poor and Spurs escape. Norwood then goes into the book for a foul on Alli, which is rather harsh on the Sheffield United midfielder.

17'
Wide! Lo Celso tries a curler from 25 yards but it's always drifting wide and if it wasn't Henderson would have had it covered.
15'
Much better from Spurs! Lo Celso squeezes a pass into the path of Aurier on the right and he crosses for Kane who clips his effort wide of the goal from a tight angle.
13'
Dier, already on a yellow card, barges Mousset from behind, conceding the free-kick on the left. He has to be really careful from now.
12'
Twelve minutes on the clock and Kane has yet to touch the ball!
11'
Spurs certainly look weary from their midweek adventure and now Ndombele is limping.
10'
Save! McGoldrick drives forward centrally and switches the ball to the unmarked Fleck to his left. In space, he opts to shoot early and it's a comfortable enough save for Gazzaniga who gets down quickly to smother it. Spurs were opened up there.
8'
Dier misplaces a simple pass out of defence and the Blades are back on the attack. This has been a poor start for Spurs - they haven't settled and almost look nervous.
6'
Wilder promised his Blades side would be fearless in their approach and they have already shown in the opening exchanges that they haven't come here just to defend.
4'
Sheffield United force two successive corners but can't test Gazzaniga on this occasion. The loose ball falls to Lundstrum at the back post but the midfielder scuffs his shot well wide.
3'
Good save! Gazzaniga forced into action already! Fleck's cross is headed to the penalty area by Aurier where Norwood is positioned. He lets fly with a spectacular volley, it takes a deflection and Gazzaniga pushes it over the bar with a fingertip save.
2'
Yellow card! Dier, making only his second league start of the season, is clearly off the pace and goes into the book for a foul on Baldock on the right.

1st Half
1'
KICK-OFF! Spurs get the ball rolling at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
14:59
A minute's silence will be observed ahead of Remembrance Sunday.
14:55
FIVE minutes until kick-off! Sheffield United have won only four of their 35 top-flight away games against Spurs, losing 24 - but this is an impressive side who have already beaten Arsenal and drawn with Chelsea, can they spring yet another surprise?
14:50
Spurs are 11 points worse off than they were this time last season. They're already 10 points adrift of Leicester in fourth place. Pochettino has warned not to rule his team out of a top four place, making today a must-win.
14:45
Wilder on Spurs: "Sometimes things happen and people don't start in the fashion they'd have wanted to, but scratch beneath the surface and what you've got is one of the world's top managers coaching an unbelievable group of players. It's another great afternoon for us to pit our wits against top-class individuals. We'll be fearless in our approach."
