But one of their own players has been ruled out of the chance to make an impact on the fixture.
Blades-contracted Luke Freeman, on loan at Wednesday’s opponents Nottingham Forest, is injured and has very likely played his last game for the Reds, Forest boss Chris Hughton confirmed when speaking ahead of their trip to Sheffield.

“He came off with a knock against Stoke and it’s a very minor strain he’s picked up, but it’s likely to rule him out for three weeks.”
Freeman has had a mixed time at The City Ground, scoring only one goal in 19 league appearances.
Two key men for Forest will also miss out. Tricky winger Sammy Ameobi, who has put in some fine performances against Wednesday in recent years, will sit out alongside midfield man Samba Sow.

“But he is still feeling his injury to a degree, so what we can’t do is take a risk which could rule him out of the last game.
“Samba Sow isn’t back training, but he is outside doing some good work.”
