Chris Wilder has sprung some selection surprises in his Sheffield United team news for this afternoon's trip to Wolves. The Blades make four changes from last weekend's 5-0 hammering at home to Brighton.

OIlie Norwood, Rhian Brewster, Ivo Grbic and Auston Trusty are all recalled while there is a new name for Blades fans in teenage defender Dovydas Sasnauskas. London-born Sasnauskas is a 17-year-old Lithuanian international who signed from Chelsea in the summer.
