The two Sheffield United youngsters handed Derby County experience as Blades make two changes for final-day clash
Two youngsters will have their first experience of a Sheffield United matchday squad this afternoon as the Blades round off their season away at Derby County. The home side still have a chance of getting into the play-offs on the final day.
United have only pride to play for, and the chance to get to 60 points and take some momentum into the summer. They make two changes against the Rams, Femi Seriki coming in for Ki-Jana Hoever and Tom Cannon in for Tahith Chong.
Some unfamiliar names on the bench include Harry McGlinchey, the 2007-born left-back who joined from Chelsea earlier this season, and Thomas Betts, the England U17 goalkeeper, who comes in for Luke Faxon.
Faxon suffered concussion in the U21s against Norwich City earlier this week, with Adam Davies rounding off the season between the sticks. Dovydas Sasnauskas, who has had more experience of first-team action in his career, is also on the bench.
Blades: Davies, Seriki, Tanganga, McGuinness, Burrows, Peck, Arblaster, O’Hare, Hamer, Cannon, Bamford. Subs: Ings, Hoever, Soumare, Chong, Sasnauskas, McGlinchey, Riedewald, Betts, Rothwell.
