Sheffield Utd boss Heckingbottom: We must be aggressive against Brighton

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom says they must be "aggressive" today against Brighton.

The Blades meet Brighton after last week's win against Wolves.

Heckingbotton said, "We know how difficult our game is but that's the only one we're focused on and if we managed it in our game and results go your way then it would feel great.

"But it's still only a few games into the season and, regardless of what we do in the short term, we have to brace ourselves for how tough and difficult this league is. Because there'll be moments where if you get carried away and start relaxing, things can come back and bite you. So we have to get the mentality right. We're fighting, we've worked so hard to get here and we're fighting to stay here."

Heckingbottom added: "Just attack every game, be as aggressive as you can and show your quality. If it's not going to be our day then it won't be our day. But we know what we need to do to give ourselves the best chance."
