Chris Wilder will ring the changes for Sheffield United’s trip to Stoke City tomorrow afternoon as he looks for a response to Wednesday night’s disappointing Carabao Cup exit.
None of the players handed a chance to impress at Fleetwood Town took it, with many of the first-choice men given a much-needed midweek rest expected to return to the starting XI in Staffordshire.
The Blades have plenty of options available to them, with Kalvin Phillips, Liam Kitching and Patrick Bamford among those who could come into the starting XI. Wilder will also have to decide whether to stick with the midfield that started against Wolves or make another alteration.
Stoke City will provide another test after United's encouraging performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend, but this is also a chance for the Blades to put the midweek disappointment firmly behind them.
So what will the team look like? We tasked our man with coming up with his predicted XI - has he got it just about right, or would you do anything differently if you were in Wilder’s shoes?
5. Liam Kitching
The new man was one of the main positives from Sunday's defeat to Wolves and his form should be enough to keep him in the starting XI here, before he links up with the Republic of Ireland for the first time over the break | ugc
6. Sam McCallum
Could come back into the side after missing out in midweek following the whack he took to the chest last Sunday. His energy and ability to get forward give Wilder another option on the left, with Burrows still out | ugc
7. Kalvin Phillips
Another player who could benefit from a run of games after his summer arrival. His ability to sit in front of the defence could also give United greater control in midfield than they had in midweek, with neither Riedewald or Rothwell doing enough to even justify suggestions of a start | UGC
8. Sydie Peck
Has started the season brightly and was one of United's better performers against Wolves. His energy and willingness to get forward make him difficult to leave out, although he'll be looking to add more goals to his game | ugc
