A number of Sheffield United fringe men will get a chance to impress when thoughts turn to FA Cup action this weekend against Mansfield Town. The Blades welcome back former manager Nigel Clough for the third-round clash.
The postponement of Sunday’s game against Oxford United may have eased United’s fixture congestion a little but it has still been a hectic time over the festive period and boss Chris Wilder will shuffle his pack, especially with a few members of his squad carrying slight issues.
As ever we tasked our man with coming up with the side he things Wilder will send out to try and tame the Stags ... has he got it just about right or would you do anything differently?

It's a toss of a coin between him and Sam McCallum on the left, with both performing at similar levels this season after Burrows was in possession of the shirt last term | Sportimage
6. Djibril Soumare
I can't imagine Riedewald being wheeled out again for this one after his recent load and with options limited elsewhere in midfield it's Soumare's place to lose, although I expect Tom Davies to get some minutes off the bench Photo: Simon Bellis

8. Tahith Chong
Another still looking to get back to top gear after a frustrating time with injuries but on his day he's shown he can be dangerous down the right hand side Photo: Richard Sellers
