Thursday’s game, though, will provide the Blades boss with the perfect opportunity to blood some of his summer recruits and has already indicated that pacey forward Oli Burke, signed from Premier League new boys West Bromwich Albion earlier this month, will make his debut.

Ethan Ampadu, Max Lowe and Jayden Bogle will also start at Turf Moor – as will players not involved on Monday - as Wilder looks to keep his squad fresh ahead of the trip to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Monday.

As for Burnley, well they have yet to begin their season so will be using Thursday’s tie to boost fitness levels before their Premier League opener against Leicester City on Sunday night.

The experienced trio of Jack Cork, Ashley Barnes and Ben Mee are all set to miss the start of the season, with the Clarets’ opening matchday squads likely to contain some of the under-23 players that have been part of the senior set-up since football resumed following lockdown last season.
