Sheffield United are in pole position for a place at Wembley later this month ahead of their play-off semi-final second leg against Bristol City tomorrow, with Chris Wilder facing something of a selection dilemma. The Blades kick off 3-0 ahead on aggregate in the tie, and are strong favourites to book their place in the final.
That could ordinarily mean that boss Wilder could be tempted to make some changes and rest some key names, but he has pledged that there will be no change of approach with absolutely nothing taken for granted in the second leg.
But he has genuine options in his squad now, with subs Andre Brooks and Callum O’Hare both coming off the bench to score at Ashton Gate, while the returns of Ben Brereton Diaz, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Femi Seriki also give him more welcome food for thought.
We had a go at predicting the side he would send out against Liam Manning’s side at Bramall Lane - have we got it just about right or would you do anything differently?

A goal and an assist in the first leg is about all you can ask for from your left back and it’ll be interesting to see whether he continues or Sam McCallum comes in Photo: Harry Trump

Still getting up to speed in terms of match sharpness you feel but is getting there after his injury. Such a key part of this United side with and without the ball Photo: Ed Sykes
7. Tom Davies
No slight whatsoever on Sydie Peck but I wonder if Davies may get an hour or so of football under his belt ahead of a potential play-off final later this month | Sportimage
8. Callum O'Hare
Made a real impact off the bench on Thursday and his inclusion also gives Rhian Brewster a break | Sportimage
