Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder made one change to his side for this afternoon’s clash with Stoke City as they look to wrestle the Championship title from Norwich City’s grasp.

United know that victory at Stoke, coupled with a Norwich defeat at Aston Villa, will see them crowned winners of the Championship on goal difference after they won promotion last week.
