and live on Freeview channel 276
Sunday's game, the first to be broadcast on BT Sport's pay-per-view channels at the price of £14.95, pits bottom against second-bottom, with neither club yet to pick up a point in the Premier League this season.
And Parker, in his latest column for Fulham's official website, wrote: "Sunday is a big one against Sheffield United. Like us, they’re yet to get off the mark, so they’ll be looking at it as a must-win game.

"They’re a very organised, workmanlike side who had a great season last year. They haven’t started as well this time around but, as we know, there’s so much football still to be played.
"We can head to Bramall Lane with confidence after our last performance, and hopefully we’ll come away with a result to get things rolling."
The Cottagers will be boosted by the signing of England international Ruben Loftus-Cheek, on loan from neighbours Chelsea, while the Blades may be without a host of key players after the international break.
