Sheffield United predicted XI v Blackburn Rovers amid illness concern, likely recall & Oliver Arblaster question

Sheffield United fans will shuffle into Bramall Lane for the penultimate time tonight as the Blades face struggling Blackburn Rovers. Their side go into the game looking for their third win on the spin after beating Hull City and Watford recently.

Sheffield United fans will shuffle into Bramall Lane for the penultimate time tonight as the Blades face struggling Blackburn Rovers. Their side go into the game looking for their third win on the spin after beating Hull City and Watford recently.

Femi Seriki should be involved despite suffering from illness over the weekend while fellow youngster Sydie Peck could be recalled after starting on the bench at Vicarage Road. Boss Chris Wilder was also asked about the plan for Oliver Arblaster before the game, with some supporters wondering if the manager may use the remaining time this season to get some minutes into his legs.

But the focus seems to remain on pre-season in terms of the 22-year-old academy star, especially with Jairo Riedewald and Joe Rothwell looking to get up to speed. With all that in mind we tasked our man with coming up with the side he believes Wilder may send out against Rovers - has he got it just about right or would you do anything differently?
