Chris Wilder insists his Sheffield United side will not change their attacking approach at fierce rivals Sheffield Wednesday, declaring: "We're not frightened to lose".
The old foes do battle in front of the Sky Sports cameras on Monday with new Owls boss Steve Bruce - once manager at Bramall Lane - looking to dent the Blades' automatic promotion bid.

Wilder oversaw a memorable 4-2 win at Hillsborough last season in the first meeting between the sides in five years but the two clashes since have delivered goalless draws.
The Blades dominated November's stalemate, but Wilder has warned there will be no damage-limitation approach from his players in rival territory.
"We won't change our way," Wilder, whose side would climb back above Leeds into second on goal difference with victory, told Sky Sports.

"There's been a lot of talk about being frightened to lose. There's no way we've had that attitude in the three games that we've played (since I've been here).
"Sheffield Wednesday players and supporters showed a great amount of relief in the last two games at Bramall Lane to come away with draws. We didn't do enough on both those occasions but we're not going to change our attitude.
"We're not a sit-back side. We never have been and never will be in this division.
"We might get pushed back by good players and a good manager who knows his way around the game but I think it's all set up to be a cracking game.
"We're in form, they're hitting a good patch and I'm sure both sides will be going out for the win. In the two games at Bramall Lane, I'm not sure that's been the case."
