However, there’s significant news on the bench with central defender Jack O’Connell back in the matchday squad for the first time since the Premier League returned following the three-month break due to the coronavirus crisis.

A victory on the road for Wilder’s side today would inch them closer to European football next season after their campaign was kick-started in impression fashion with the win over Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham just under 72 hours ago.

Here’s what some Blades fans on Twitter have had to say about today’s unchanged team named by Wilder.

@original1889 Unchanged. JOC on the bench. I hope Moose gets a decent run out. I still think Moose and Didzy are our best front two.

@The_Bladesman Obviously no complaints from me. Delighted to see Jack O'Connell back. Lets get three points!

@Blitzb85 Nice to see Ben Osborn getting in, well deserved COYRAWW

@FLC1889 Happy with that. I can't recall ever seeing the line-ups announced whilst eating my breakfast before though! Huge three points on offer here, COYRAWW!

@daviesblades83 Good starting line up that, great to see JOC back in the squad for the Blades. Come on you Blades!
