Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom is hoping Ben Davies and John Fleck will be fit. Both men picked up muscle injuries in Saturday’s defeat at Coventry but could recover in time.

Oli McBurnie suffered a dead leg in the same game and will also be assessed. United have 11 players occupying the treatment room and as a result Kacper Lopata has been recalled from his loan spell at Southend.
