Houllier aware of Blades threat

Last updated : 08 January 2003 By Chris Maxwell
The two teams meet at Bramhall Lane tomorrow night in the first leg of the Worthington Cup semi finals, and Houllier knows the threat Sheffield United will pose to his hopes of another trip to Cardiff.

He said: "They are a team we know a lot about because we've sent people to have them watched,"

"They have already beaten two Premiership sides in the Worthington Cup so we know what they are capable of. We will approach the game in the right way.

"I remember we played Crystal Palace in the same stage of the competition two years ago and that was a very difficult game. This will be the same."
