Rhian Brewster could be handed a baptism of fire with Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder ready to start him against former club Liverpool, weeks after leaving Anfield in a £23.5m move

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder would have 'no hesitation' handing club record signing Rhian Brewster his full debut against former club Liverpool on Saturday.

Brewster, who swapped Anfield for Bramall Lane earlier this month in a deal that could be worth up to £23million, made his first appearance for the Blades as a second-half substitute in the draw with Fulham.

Wilder toyed with the idea of starting his big-money arrival against the Cottagers but erred on the side of caution after feeling the 20-year-old striker was not quite at the right level of fitness.
