David McGoldrick and Oli Burke start up front, while Sander Berge replaces Ollie Norwood in midfield. John Egan wears the captain’s armband.

Blades: Ramsdale, Baldock, Stevens, Fleck, O'Connell, Basham, Lundstram, Berge, Egan, Burke, McGoldrick. Subs: McBurnie, Sharp, Norwood, Foderingham, Robinson, Ampadu, Osborn.

And Blades fans were quick to have their say on Twitter.

@WillHawkins03: I’ve got a bad feeling about this

@OllieStubbins: Bold move dropping McBurnie but probably deserved, we have pace and creativity up too today which we sorely lacked last week. Let’s hope Burke makes those fluorescent pink boots he’s got work some magic

@Smiggy: Why do Chelsea and Exeter fans expect Ampadu to walk into our team over our POTY last season

@adz6786: No issue with Wilder picking lunny again. Imagine being of those fans that thinks they know Lunnys character and attitude more than he does

@Blades19931: Very happy, Berge over Norwood is a no brainer, and as much as some hate to admit it, fleck and lunny is the best CM pairing we have
