NICE DAY OUT
It's a glorious, sunny lunchtime in South Yorkshire. Here's Lynsey, Lescott and Crouchy chewing the fat with Dyche earlier.

TODAY
If this match produces a winner it will be a grim old international break for the loser. A Premier League season is a marathon and not of sprint, sure, but it's a taxing old marathon if you sleep in and don't get away from the start line on time. Losing four on the bike will heap pressure on either Paul Heckingbottom and Sean Dyche when we return in a couple of weeks, so a win today feels essential.
Goals tend to right a lot of wrongs, and both sides have changed their front lines today. Beto is already off the mark for Everton having netted in midweek, and there'll be a lot of hope invested in Archer for the hosts. Archer arrives in Yorkshire off the back of a successful summer, during which he won the Under-21s European Championship with England.

HELLO, HELLO!
Welcome to an early doors basement battle in the Premier League. Neither Sheffield United nor Everton have registered a point so far in this fledgling Premier League this season, with each team losing all three of their matches so far. It’s even worse for Everton, who haven’t even popped in a goal yet. Surely there are better times incoming for at least one of them today, then? We’ll be kicking off at Bramall Lane at 12.30pm BST.
