Bamford faced a late fitness test earlier today after damaging a shoulder recently against Derby County, missing the Blades’ last two games as a result.
Joe Rothwell is definitely out, after being forced under the knife to correct a groin issue, while Femi Seriki will be pushing for a start after edging closer to full fitness with three cameos off the bench.
With all that in mind we tasked our man to come up with the side he’d send out against Nathan Jones’ side at the Valley - has he got it just about right or would you do anything differently?
9. Romelle Donovan
He had his spell on the sidelines but he's been excellent since coming back into the side and is surely one of the first names on the teamsheet at present as he heads back to London | Sportimage
10. Jordan Ayew
With the way he's been namedropped a few times by Wilder throughout the week I wonder if there may be a recall in the offing for the veteran forward, assuming Bamford doesn't make it through his fitness test on the eve of the game | Getty Images
11. Ben Brereton Diaz
He's been used as a wide man for most of the time since he came back but he can of course also play central and with Bamford potentially out he could offer an option up top with Cannon and Campbell in reserve if needed | Getty Images
