Paul Heckingbottom, Eddie Howe and Frank Lampard are among the bookies' favourites to replace Chris Wilder as Sheffield United manager, with the 53-year-old expected be sacked today.
Sportsmail revealed earlier in March that Wilder's position as Sheffield United boss was under 'serious threat' following numerous clashes with owner Abdullah bin Musa'ad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
Wilder is now expected to be relieved of his duties following a breakdown in communication with the owners, due to a disagreement in their desire to appoint a director of football.
Up next for the Blades is a highly challenging trip to Leicester City on Sunday, with an FA Cup quarter-final clash against Chelsea to come a week later.
