Sheffield United and Everton will be looking for their first points of the season when these two struggling sides go head-to-head on Saturday.

Sean Dyche's team have had a very difficult start to the campaign. Back-to-back 1-0 home losses to Fulham and Wolves came in between a 4-0 shellacking by Aston Villa. Everton are yet to score a goal this term - the only team in the division with that dishonour - and are looking worryingly shaky at the back too. They did at least beat Doncaster in the EFL Cup in midweek.

Sheffield United are also without a point so far. Despite the scoreline, they were comfortably beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace on the opening weekend. A 2-1 defeat by Nottingham Forest followed, before United went down to Manchester City to the same score.

Paul Heckingbottom's team have at least shown plenty of flight so far and the manager will be looking for more of the same in this crunch clash at Bramall Lane.

Kick-off is at 12.30pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
