Billy Sharp, John Lundstram and Jack O’Connell all start for the Blades, while Aaron Ramsdale makes his Premier League debut for the Blades.

Sander Berge is fit enough to make the bench, where he is joined by new signings Oli Burke and Ethan Ampadu as well as David McGoldrick.

@RichardjsS14: Tried & tested

@Justy1Rice: Can’t wait for this match. Buzzing to have football back. Tough match but we got a good chance. Big game for Stevens, Traore will not want to run backwards. Big things from McBurnie I’m hoping. Come on lads.

@butterpopster: Hope too see Burke coming of the bench

@PaddysMad: Still need a midfielder and 2 strikers don’t we let’s go
