Sheffield United 0 Coventry City 0: Slavisa Jokanovic and Mark Robins react to Bramall Lane draw

after picking up an injury on international duty, so this man comes in

Basham, Egan and Davies on the teamsheet and unless Basham is in midfield, that surely points to a return to a back three - Hourihane and Fleck in midfield with Gibbs-White behind Sharp and Ndiaye? That would be my bet but we’ll see for sure just after 12.30, I guess...

Billy Sharp has reiterated his desire to earn a new Sheffield United contract, admitting that he would sign a deal tomorrow if it was offered and that he wants to end his playing career at his boyhood club.

The striker, in his 36th year, is the Blades’ top scorer this season but is approaching the expiry of the initial contract extension he signed while the Blades were still in the Premier League.

Like most of his Bramall Lane teammates, Sharp’s contract contains an option in the club’s favour to extend it by a year – and the Sheffield-born striker will do all he can to earn it.

and the Blades are back at Bramall Lane looking to bounce back from their defeat at Blackburn last time out - they’ve had time to stew on it over the international break and reflect on what went wrong at Ewood Park, so time will tell if they can put things right against high-flying City on their own patch
