Sheffield United are set to sack Paul Heckingbottom following their dismal 5-0 defeat against Burnley on Saturday.
The Blades sit bottom of the Premier League table and have won just one game since their return to the top flight.
Mail Sport understands that they will relieve Heckingbottom of his duties today and are lining up Chris Wilder to replace him.
He would be the first Premier League boss to lose his job this campaign, with sides having adopted a more lenient approach towards dismissals.
Sheffield United are the league's most toothless outfit with 11 goals and are the most leaky at the back, conceding 39 goals.
