But how could the Blades line up in the game? Our man Danny Hall picked his predicted team for the game, with Saturday’s trip to Chelsea in mind. What team would you pick? Let us know in the comments below, or on Twitter.
9. Luke Freeman
Freeman has caught the eye in his appearances for United so far and, with John Fleck nearing a return, would probably welcome another opportunity to show his skills Photo: Simon Bellis
10. Billy Sharp

11. Callum Robinson
After his goal at the weekend I'd start Oli McBurnie at Chelsea, so give Robinson some minutes against Blackburn to keep him ticking over. But what do I know...! Photo: Simon Bellis
12. SUBS: Michael Verrips
Signed on deadline day, Verrips hasn't yet featured and is worthy of a place in my matchday squad Photo: Simon Bellis
