Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe says there'll be no underestimating Sheffield United.

The Toon meet the Blades on Sunday at Bramall Lane.

Howe said, "It'll be a difficult game, I think Bramall Lane is a very tough place to go, any time of the year.

"They are a good team, a direct team. They will ask us questions physically. They have good athleticism, are a counter-attacking team as well, are good at set pieces, so yeah, they've got a lot of areas in their team that can hurt us if we're not right.

"The important thing for us is to approach the game in the same way we did the Brentford match, where we were spot on in our mindset, spot on in our importance of the game. Mentally, we did really well. Maybe it wasn't a magnificent display but we did enough to get the job done and we're going to have to get all the basics right if we're going to compete in this game."
