Jurgen Klopp was labelled 'selfish' and a 'politician' for wanting five subs back in 2020 by Chris Wilder... then called him out live on BT Sport! Now they renew hostilities as Sheffield United host Liverpool tonight

Sheffield United welcome Liverpool to Bramall Lane on Wednesday night following the sacking of Paul Heckingbottom and the return of club hero Chris Wilder.

The 56-year-old is set to take charge of his first Blades game in over two years, having masterminded their promotion to the top-flight and dazzling in their debut campaign before his 2021 sacking.

Wilder's side earned many plaudits for their inventive play style which had them in contention for Champions League qualification before the Covid-enforced hiatus during the 2019-20 campaign.

However, in the following season as many league matches were played in empty stadiums, the Blades boss formed an adversarial relationship with Jurgen Klopp on account of their respective stances on issues that were affecting the game.
